I think that if we can establish the TTV as a viable method, we can emulate it.

I think that soldering an IHS to a heat die (the Mushroom solution suggested earlier) would yield useful data. It might be close to a TTV in behavior with the added benefit of an inline sensor. It would simplify the problem of calibrating the heatshadowing effects by dampening the variations caused by different blocks.
But I still am leery of the groove for the thermocouple. I am pretty sure that something designed for testing thick based heatsinks behaves unexpectedly with thin based waterblocks.
Haven't got a handle on this yet.
