Hummm,
If the IHS temp is all the TTV uses then how is that different than the die temp of a die sim? The only thing that bothers me about the IHS is the heat spread/flux. Without putting dozens of probes all over the IHS we really don't know how much of the IHS is being cooled/warmed. Therefor guessing a dimension is useless without the needed data from dozens of calibrated probes of insane resolution.
I say **** it and will be using a die sim.
