I always wanted to get ahold or even make one of these but I don't have a great knowledge of going about doing this. Haven't found much help from buying one so i dont know.

these are modules used to simulate a CPU Die temperature as opposed to using an acutal CPU to test heatsinks/blocks. I found on P4's it's somewhat less dangerous to test heatsinks/blocks because of the heatspreader but in the past month alone I burned one tbred, cracked one athlon core and spent over $150 well earned dollars on CPU's alone. Alot of the heatsinks don't cause much problems but once I hit the high end heavy copper heatsinks/blocks then the chances of kiling the CPU increases. I need a solution where I won't need to worry about overheating or cracking the core in any way and this seems to be the best solution at testing heatsinks/blocks. Could anyone help me out either guiding me through or even making one for me? Either is preferred, of course i'd take on all costs. I'd prefer a setup to monitor temperatures and not calculate c/w (like overclockers.com does).

So can anyone help me and my ever so light wallet out?
