    So did anyone try removing IHS for air-cooling setup and running it that way? I believe the chip should be able to handle even the normal case's vertical mounting if you attach the heatsink properly.
    I am more concerned if one gets better temperatures that way...

    I am getting i7 next month, and wondering if it's worth trying.
    I don't believe noone tried... Perhaps, if not air, then just a normal (not direct die) water setup? Results should be similar... Anyone?

    Edit: one more local linky, direct die cooling and way worse results... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...84&postcount=2 And I believe it would be even worse for normal air or water...
