If you ask a question like that then you must know the answer. How am I supposed guage torque? Torque wrench won't work, no way to hook up a pressure sensor..
Repeatability is the goal anyway. That is why you make several mounts with the same method. Same way pH does it and Cathar as explained above. With decent temp monitoring you can pick up the difference. The main problem is not pressure difference but uneaveness. Once you get your technique down then every mount should be near identical which is more important than knowing the pressure. As long as it is the same each time the absolute pressure measurement is uneeded.
When I get my die sim completed I got a way to measure pressure but it isn't possible with a motherboard. Basically the way JoeC does it at OC'ers.
