I understand the better temp readings with removal of IHS but that test is based off a running setup. IT should be treated as an average setup. Removing the IHS removes a common variable from all AMD 64 cpus in an average setup except DTR's.

It doesn't matter here because we are comparing results using the same test bed.
But how will your results compare to the exact same test setup but with the IHS and gets different results? Which results will people morelikely to accept? The bread and butter IHS one. It's like testing P4 without the IHS. How many times you going to see that?

Note that others pointed out mounting presure designed with the IHS. This will affect performance on certain designs.

In the end that IHS is an important factor but i see how you want more accurate readings. Tough call.

BTW $145 for a heatsink?? Is that US dollars or some different currency.
I can get a good decent WCing setup for that.........
