Anyway, temps reported by MBM are matched on Load.
Also, notice calibration on Real Temp always need to be -- because if not, temps are a lot different.
I might think on a way to run the probe on the cneter of the IHS, but that would be maybe with stock heatsink if I can dremel a path on the Heatsink base so I can put the Probe without interfering (completely) with the base and IHS contact.

Agian, notice when voltage cransks up, the Temps are to way high in mi opinion. The difference there can be more than 10 degrees.
Or maybe, taking off the IHS... Sorry I cant to that guys


But the channel on the heatsink base its a must I will try to do next week.

If you do cut the groove, could you test with heatsink on and off. With heatsink off, use idle and slowly bring temp up, allowing to equilibrate and compare measured temp to distance from tjmax at 45, 40, 35, 30.

Once heatsink in place and actively cooling Tcase, you will be measuring Tcase accurately, but a more significant gradient will exist from core to tcase, while cooling tcase and loading core.

But would love to see it tested both ways for comparison, if you do it.
