I'd really like to know, since they say they use that testbed in every test involving Intel.

SenC.

on the right track....

overvolted P4s run that much, sometimes 1.7 (1.7intel is like 2.2AMD)

The larger meter is a DMM, measuring vcore

The smaller meter is a magnetic-based coil clamp on ammeter, measuring amps

watts=amps*volts

about 65w in this case

not totally absolutely accurate for measuring heat output, but good for relative measurements

realize not all the heat comes from vcore, not all the vcore turns into heat
