For what it's worth.

I had removed My IHS, but I couldnt get good contact with it off.
After this I put it back on with AS5 & gain 150mhz clock with 22c lower on idle.
This sounds like alot but I can clock way higher with less voltage now.
Mine was not making good contact with the IHS, there was a big bubble in the center of the factory clue.
Well worth it. I am on air BTW.
