The temperature sender can also affect the gauge. The sender is a totally different unit from the sensor. The sensor affects the fan, but the sender only affects the gauge. My sender died a few months ago (the gauge totally stopped working) and I installed a new sender. The gauge works now, but it reads quite a bit more than it used to read with the old sender. Now, it commonly stays on the L, whereas before with the original sender it read about R-M. I suppose the calibration on those must leave something to be desired.
