well its not. but whose goal is to reproduce variable results that (most) people get when testing on cpus - swiftechs? surely the majority are concerned with true waterblock performance?

Water blocks are made and used on CPU's. The only real way to tell how well that block works on a CPU is to test it on a CPU. However this is still screwed because of the many different CPU's on the market. It would be the same as using a different sized die sim. The results would be shit on one CPU and excellent on another.
Just not seeing this as a solution or improvement to the problem.

differen't sized die sims still an issue (there are different cpu sizes as you note) but with a laser simply changing the distance from the laser would change the focusing area, no?
for thoughts on testing on real cpus, see Joes post:

and finally, testing with an IR laser could potentially be better than a die sim because it eliminates mounting variability.
