If you use air cooling only, should you take them off or leave them? Or perhaps it simply makes no difference either way.
I took them off, I didn't like the idea of hot air building up inside and being trapped there... Northbridge temps dropped maybe 1 or 2 max! Nothing major... TBH, I think reseating with AS5 would do more good but I've run it so much that I'll probably have no chance of removing the heatsink now!
