I am very concerned with the low numbers that come from JoeC's simulator since I am getting values substantially higher with the diode reader when you take AMD's estimates on W. That is, at the moment, really lowering my interest in using a similar type simulator (and I can't afford the setup you have; even the power conditioning, monitoring, and supply is out of my price range). So I figure that I can have some fun playing with how system variables affect heat production (you know you want to see it too) and then choose a suitable suite of stresses to run when testing blocks for the current AMD platform. Modest goals...
Doesn't that mean that it ALWAYS took that long to come to equilibrium, but you can only now observe it? Resolution has more prices than just the equipment cost.
