Well, I'm no statistician nor am I an Intel engineer, so I can't speak to experimental errors/instrument errors. What I can tell you is that whatever relationship I measured in this experiment gave a pretty tight data set.

@mukmaster - Right, without running an A/C you can't really change your room temp, but you can understand that if the room temp raises 8 °C, you can expect your CPU load temps to increase roughly by 16 °C.
