I think that your work has potential to be more accurate, I'd just like to see how it could be done. Would a diode reader, similar to pHaestus be of any help?
Other (varying) parameters are:
Water temperature
CPU voltage
CPU Frequency
Ambient air temperature
Motherboard temperature
CPU Loading.
TIM joints settling.
Time between taking CPU diode reading and taking FB T readings.

Constant parameters are:
Flux block dimensions
Flux block conductivity
Waterblock/Pump/Radiator (and presumably flow rate)
Thermistor calibration (hopefully)

An accurate calibrated diode reader would certainly be helpful. The extrapolation of the MBM reading down to 0W works I think and I trust it for now but it would be nice to be a bit more sure.
Same goes for all the sensors, I think I will move to a more highly calibrated setup in rev 2.
