The reason I ask is because thermocouples have a tendency to become more or less efficient depending on the temperature they are operating at. If you have a power supply which monitors and controls power output you can adjust to hold total power consumption constant which helps with that a bit (not perfect but more reliable than hooking it up and flying blind which can and will skew results).
T Type and test to Intel spec. and have many metered power supplies. It is interesting that Intel recommends their method when doing any testing of consequence rather then their own internal diode. But they seem OK in a general sense lacking resolution in finer measurements on an individual basis they seem to average out within a couple of 10th's of a degree to what I am seeing here to what I get on an absolute number on a bench test.

Maybe I am simple minded but that closeness with the averaging has held from day one with just a couple of tenths fluctuation either way struck me as pretty awesome.
