If results correlated between the two setups with the IHS on, the blocks could also be tested on the heat die without the IHS to indicate both IHS and bare-core perfomance?
Many problems:

1) the power level would have to be matched (*very* hard to do)

2) you're not likely to be able to mount a temp probe within the heat die, to replicate what a CPU would return, due to physical limitations.
