Godman, IIRC removing the IHS on C2D chips doesn't help temps versus lapping.
I think all the copper from the IHS is more beneficial than not having it at all.

The IHS is made of copper underneath and what, nickel coating? I guess I could lap it... I've lapped my fair share of heatsinks, but wouldn't I have to wet the sandpaper? I don't want a WET cpu!!Originally Posted by wa77ss

Lapping is nice, but one project im going to try is to buy an E4400 (whose IHS is not soldered on) and swap the IHS with an old celeron IHS, resoldering it onto the E4400... Then lapping it
