Has anyone used the technique outlined in the AMD Thermal Design Guide, Page 37, to monitor CPU temperature? If so, should the temperature measurements taken using this technique be considered more accurate than the CPU internal diode readings? What impact might the thermocouple hole/channel cut into a TEC coldplate have on the TEC's cooling performance?
