I've been loosely following the Apogee megathread, so I thought it pertinent.

For those of you who've popped your IHS (or 'idiot handling shield', as I've heard it affectionately referred to), what did you get from it?
Lower reported temps (as reported in bios or MBM, yeah yeah), higher stable overclocks, both or nothing?

Reply in thread with your cpu and cooling and what changes you experienced temp/OC wise.

Speaking from personal experience, I once popped the top off a Tualatin Celeron. My peak load temps (reported in MBM for what that's worth) dropped by 2C but it did not help my OC at all.
