Right now, as the only desirable overclocking chips are AMD anyway, you should be testing AMD chips with the IHS removed. This is your audience. Unless you want to cater to those who are either too timid to butcher their overpriced CPUs or those doing this for bling, you should be doing whatever the pro-level enthusiast is doing. If, right now, this means ditching the IHS on AMD cpus, do it. If in the future, Intel is the cpu de rigueur, and IHS isn't going anywhere, then test that way.
