Guys, I think that perhaps some of what I'm saying is getting lost in the jargon.

My point is that I don't believe that the TTV is providing a uniform heat flux when the block geometries change (different waterblocks) and this correspondingly affects the measured/reported IHS surface temperature. I am saying that unless we also know the die temp, then we just really don't know what the deal is.

If the heat-flux is guaranteed to be uniform, such as the heat-die and the IHS being an integrated solid one-metal-piece affair, then it could be used as it presently is, and the assumptions would be valid that the IHS surface temp and the die temp is a linear invarying relationship.
