reality ck guys
look at those DOW sensor packages, good for air and water (in a sheath)
not gonna work in Incoherent's die sim or inlet into the top of an IHS
- there may be a thermistor soln, there is a known TC soln

jd
I buy Fluke 2190As all the time off eBay, avg ~$50 inc shipping plus $75 or so to cal
compare specs, best deal on the planet
you are presumably a more serious tester, but if you are unwilling to groove your test CPU; then with a guesstimated C and a guesstimated W what are your efforts worth ?
the whole point of this is to have a known temp related to the CPU temp on a known platform

an approach from the other side ?, what is a 'reasonable' cost for a CPU based thermal test setup ?

and if grooving the CPU is a deal-breaker, we should probably let this be and consider it a higher-end testing activity
note that the 775 has no pins, less fragile, and 'no known' internal TIM joint problems
(a CPU heat source, not your product endorsement jd)
