In there own design and tech docs they go into great detail about how they made compromises to keep the cost down and the built in diode was one of the cost cutters. It has a -+10c margin of error. If thats acceptable to you then it completetly invalidates bills testing.

This tech doc was from intel but I found simmilar data from amd.

The problem here also is that every cpu made has a margin for error within that range and could be different from one cpu to the next.

Also you dont even want to go here. I started out asking that about 6 months ago. You wont like what you find out.
Well +/-10c accuracy is definately not acceptable to me..

What would be the most accurate(without $20,000+ equip.)to measure the temps of the core >> BILL<< ?
I would like to get as accurate of a reading as I can.

And I do want to "go there" as you put it,Webmedic. That was the WHOLE point of posting !
