that the 'scientific' interest exists I agree, but many wishing to opine do not understand the underlying technology

"example: give a CPU that has a power consumption of 100W, use "software heating" (this can range, but has to be the same once a method is chosen, method has to be exact ... a program that is specifically designed to do this, or a program that can be readily monitored/controlled. The said program also can't be based on any multi-user operating systems ... windows,unix,etc.) and then try to vary the power applied to the die simulator that produces the same readings that the CPU does."

I am not interested in the above wishful dream as many here have beaten this topic for 5+ years
deal with what we have first,
then - using that info - define the next useful step

lol
this crowd cannot even measure an IHS temp, or even agree as to its utility
science ??
a way to go yet
