This whole IHS removal should just be excluded from the minds of testers. Until now, waterblocks that were tested were tested against "stock" cpu's. No modifications required.

Now... all of a sudden a company creates a WB specifically to address the new/larger heating surface... and testers think that it should be discounted because "real enthusiasts" pop off the IHS? Ridiculous.

I've been overclocking since 1996. If I'm not an enthusiast... I don't know who is. Yet I REFUSE to take a knife to my $600 X2 4400+ processor. It ISN'T going to happen, and I am quite sure I am not alone here.

Why would you risk your investment, when you may be able to accomplish the same cooling with a different waterblock? Not saying either way which block accomplishes this, but that is the claim.

I want the block that can cool my $6-800 processor as it is sold, so if I need to RMA it... I don't have to get out the epoxy and try to rip someone off.
