nomenclature sports

case = IHS in CPU parlance (NOT internal case air temps - as JoeC often refers to these air temps)

sink C/Ws are described as 'case to air' or 'sink (DUT bp) to air'; the values are different because the specific test procedure includes or excludes the TIM joint between the IHS and bp

if a semblance of comparability with 'industry methods' is desired, I suggest a fine slot on the face of the die for a 40ga type T thermocouple
-> this IS the 'case temp' as measured by the big guy, the little player grooves the sink bp so has only 'sink (bp) to air'
