in fact my coolant temps are read with thermisters, YSI 700 series at $170 a pop
even with these however the mfgrs stated accuracy is +/-0.2^C
but by probe selection and matching,
and individual calibration to a specific indicator (2 Digitec 5810s with 0.01^C resolution),
better can indeed be done

now please explain what ANY of this (or your referring me to an Omega catalog)
has to do with the thermistors that OCers are actually using ?

(hint, nothing)

or did I misunderstand, and it was Joe you were referring to the catalog ?
one's finger can be made to work, the real problem is a total absence of calibration

EDIT: too harsh a tone to this post
the real problem with OCers' temps is, as EMC2 observed, (no) calibration
the numbers are pie-in-the-sky,
comparisons are of the nature mine-is-bigger-than-yours,
and calculations based on these 'temps' are trash

and yet another of my poor jokes:
the Overclockers' Mantra

all temps are crap, but Watts are worse
ooooohhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm
