Indeed. 30kgs (66lbs) would be the recommended pressure for IHS CPU's. Can get quite a substantial performance boost by increasing the clamping pressure, especially in comparison to 6.8kgs (15lbs) on bare-die CPU's with tubing hanging off the block.
Apples to oranges comparisons again, and worse, comparisons using pressures that exceed the maximum recommended bare-die pressures by almost 3x, and standard pressures by over 4x.
