If you add all the thermal gradients, you get the temperature differential, between the CPU and the ambient air.

Since the ambient air temp is not going to change (for the sake of the discussion), you can simply add the thermal gradients to it, to find your result: your CPU temp.
Exactly what I have been saying all along.
