I'm using (when I get a new one) a Nat. Semi. LM87. It's in the same family as the LM90 in your KD-7.
It does the whole voltage, fan RPM, and temperature monitoring thing, but I'm just using the voltage inputs here. Most importantly (since I have zero programming skill), it's recognized by Motherboard Monitor. Once everything is set up, MBM will display/log the CPU current (with ~0.2 amp resolution).
With any luck, we should able to characterize the thermal power of a given AthXP core running specified software at a various Vcore, FSB, and multipliers. 'Twill be the end of silly power estimates.
Edit: grammar
