I DO like hte idea of testing both on a die sim and on a real system so that problems with mounting and designs that exploit secondary cooling can more properly be examined. People are eventually going to complain about the SocketA test system (someone was this last week in fact)

Yeah the die sim should be priority #1.
Not sure what to think about those complaints. It is just not possible to test all die sizes. Not sure what they expect. There are probably 30 different die sizes over the last 2-3 years from AMD and Intel..
