Quick question....

Even though you cant trust the absolute value returned by a motherboard can you perhaps use the delta between idle and load as a tool to guage changes? By load I mean using a program designed to put as near of a 100% load on the system as possible. If you can fairly accurately determine any changes in ambient surroundings (temps primarily) is it a valid option to use the difference between idle and load as a litmus test for changes in a system?
