The flexing of the wb base-plate is exactly what is required to cause the Intel TTV to read incorrectly, and this was demonstrated to very dramatic effect with another block. That it is acknowledged that the bp flexes, thereby NOT pushing the IHS against the heat-die in the center where the thermal probe is located, is exactly why I believe that this methodology of testing is flawed.

The wb is being manufactured to provide low temperature readings on a flawed testbed by exploiting the very same flaws that were observed to give erroneously low results. The data is the result of a system error.
