Now here comes the myth. Or truth...
They say that removing the IHS so that your heatsink can directly be in contact with the chip in the center will help you better in the cooling performance. Does it really help?  dry.gif

Yes, it will help reducing the temps in much much better, but still, there's one thing that you have to consider...

If you've removed the IHS, then the core will be left with no protection, and one slight mistake in fixing the heatsink will make you lose you're processor as the core is very vulnerable, and it's easy to break...

Even with some small break on the core, you're processor will be unuseable... laugh.gif

Trust me, you don't want to remove the IHS cool.gif

Sounds scary...  ohmy.gif

Hmmm I guess its not such a good idea since DaRkSyThE says that it does not have huge difference in the temp drop.

But what happens if ur IHS is dented or not flat anymore (maybe due to changing heatsink many times)?

I don't think the IHS is easily dented...
Unless if u fit the heatsink too tight, maybe it will, but seriously, i don't think it will be dented easily tongue.gif
