Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

[Final8ty]

Sorry about tha monstrous picture. I have considered removing my IHS, but I am not sure what I would gain. 3.0Ghz is a wall of sorts for me. Adding voltage doesnt seem to help get a higher clock (at least on air). Would I see a good chance or more clock speed without the IHS?

Also, does anyone know where CPU "dot" pads (like the ones on the XPs) that would help protect the core from the pressure of this Tuniq Tower if I did take the IHS off?

I have the same stepping CCBBE 0613RPMW

IHS ON


IHS OFF and notice the 8c & 10c drop on both cores from the first pic.
