sure I tested grease over time, but the data is not mine; AS has data also I believe
the curve depends on the paste, thickness, and pressure (therefore use the same methods and materials)
the time-to-test is a variable that must be controlled, even if reading only tenths (the variation over time can exceed a degree or more)
this is crucial with an IHS as compared to the smaller and flatter CPU die surface
one min/max period for quick comparative, 48hrs for 'final' data if a known testing paste used

understood
and taken as a given, whatever/however it is
I do not concern myself with what is below the IHS, I share your concern but do not consider this characteristic as a variable
re the CPU temp, a heat source and a specific CPU can be correlated with a TC on the IHS
this is a test methodology for heat sink thermal resistance characterization
so cut a groove in your CPU heat sources ?
why not ?
ok, then slot the wb bp
too thin ? then slot the IHS
the (required) goal is a direct measurement, indirect is ok if understood
this is purely an experimental issue, no more (offset and compression)
