I'm also for leaving the IHS on since most people will run their setups with the IHS. As long as you use the same IHS it shouldn't have that much of an effect should it?

Well I don't agree. Most Wcing users will agree that the benefit of WCing is less sound so some people like stuff very silent. What is the focus of PA160 and 120s? Better performance at lower fan speeds for less noise.
Telling me it's 37 dBAs tells me a lot more than it has a soft whining noise.
I realize it's quieter than most heatsinks but not silent like how the reviewer made it out to be until I see 37dBAs. Kinda gives the impression the fan is a tad noisy but tolerable. Still needs other dBAs to compare to because dBA can vary test to test.
I like the Wcing pump review in french where he had all the soundfiles to compare the noise from each pump. That should be the standard. How come SPCR can spend $1000 on that but not capture more sound clips?
