How does drilling and sticking a thermal probe in your waterblock base give you your CPU temperature? Given that the thermal goop junction for some blocks already forms more than half of the total thermal resistance in the system, your temperature readings from this method will be between 30-60% of reality, with the actual difference being depending on the block in use and the flow rate.

Also what to do about block who's bases are too thin to drill into and insert a thermal probe.
