You really think the majority of folks here have removed their IHS?
Unless you want to cater to those who are either to timid to butcher their overpriced CPUs...
Hard to discern your gist here..."too timid to butcher"?
"Overpriced CPUs"?
OK, I'll own up...indeed I do feel trepidation when contemplating the possible demise of my $350 CPU, not to mention the hit it takes on the resale market.
... 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.

What the hey is a "pro-level" enthusiast and how can I sign up for a salaried postion?
How many such creatures are there anyway?
At what level interest/involvement/investment does one qualify?
