I didn't even notice that none of those probes are under 1mm (die height). The smallest is 5/64" or 2mm!
Perhaps I could drill out a small channel for the probe to sit in in the base of the WB... not an option for a testing platform, but since I won't be changing WBs frequently, would you recommend this? I want accurate temps mostly so I can see the results of tweaking the other parts of my system, including frequency and voltage as well as the cooling system.
Oh, but wouldn't that be a shame if AMD changed Athlon die dimensions again, then I would be screwed!
Then again, I could always approximate by mounting the probe on the WB base as close to the die as possible. Would this yield feasible results?
Ugh, I'm discouraged now. Is there any other way I can get 0.1°C accuracy for under $100?
jaydee: Sorry for interjecting my little problem into your thread, but it seemed like a good time to bring it up, as long as we are discussing testing equip.
