I'm one of those that will pop the IHS every chance i get... the new Intels won't allow this anymore... Anyway, on about 6 P4's where i did remove the IHS, only ONE CPU showed a huge gain in OC ability and drop in temps, about a 10C drop and approx 250Mhz increase in OC. I suspect this particular CPU had a horrible IHS mount from the start. In all other cases, I saw about a 4C drop in temps with absolutely ZERO affect on the max OC of the chip. If I had an A64 you bet I'd pop the lid and sand/grind the cam.
