Yes Brian this is the point
Testing on a few wbs with IHS present followed by testing the same blocks with a bare die
And yes Ben I know what I'm doing. Consider that I am basically making the choice to ditch the IHS as a variable in my testing. The conclusion that we're coming to in staff discussions is basically that Procooling AMD users are gonna pop the tops if they're bothering with H2O for performance purposes.
If that's a bad assumption to make then I'll get another CPU. I look at the findings obtainable from this kind of test to be worth the $100 outlay of cash to be honest. If nothing else it'll provide some real data to go along with all the arguing on the forums right now
