Not sure of what you are asking here. Are you referring to the IHS? Intel IHS has been soldered on or very difficult to remove for quite some time now. Testing has shown naked vs IHS has not given much of a clock boost, if any.

This is of course when dealing with a properly lapped IHS. The same was true of my X2 4400 I'm currently running. After I popped the IHS off, I was getting substantially lower temps (7c lower using a storm), but I did not achieve a higher clock speed as a result. Granted the X2's are a completely different animal.

Is that what you were asking?
I think he's referring to the copper plate that goes together with the transpiper.

I think the setup is something along the lines of attaching the copperplate to the heatpipe setup over the mosfets. This overhangs and sits on top of the cpu. You then stick a heatsink/waterblock on top of that, sandwiching the copperplate between the heatsink and the cpu.

The idea in principal is that your heatsink/waterblock would not only cool the cpu, but also the mosfets, northbridge and south bridge via the connection to the heatpipe. Does that make sense?
