It'll help a little, a few degrees at max but is it worth risking damaging the chip for that?

.You can get shigsy to do it - he's coordinated.
Lol, i would rather upgrade my cooling than remove the IHS, the amount you will gain varies from chip to chip, i have seen some with really poor IHS contact where they gain 5-10C, others have fairly good contact and you only gain 2-3C.
If it is worth it is down to you, it's only money after all if you damage it

Hello?
WE ARE EXTREME PROMETEIA - not cautious prommies!!
Take it to the max my friend and go forward and remove that IHS - if you PM Shigsy - he will remove it for ya (at a very reasonable price).
The temp difference of a few degrees can be teh differnece between a good overclock and a great overclock.
GET EXTREME!!

Thats an interesting question - the answer to which right now is no - but I feel that shigsy will be removing it in the near future.

Yeah I don't think its worth removing Mav. It seems to be a problem with the X2's.

Problem for X2's I dont understand - do you mean X2's will benefit more?
A few degrees extra could be the difference between tumbling records and also rans - as the EPUK coach (and top bencher at present) it's only right to be as extreme as I can be with the resources I have - success is good for the team, failure is not an option.
