Not necessarily.
There are indications in my clumsy models that the IHS in some circumstances can actually improve performance. It depends almost entirely on the quality of TIM1, with the block design playing a part.
Meaning that in the case of a good quality TIM1 (Intel?) I can model a case where the Apogee could actually be superior to the Storm in terms of die temperature.
However I need emperical data to correctly model the blocks. I don't have either of these ones so I can't test them to get it, and so I am hesitant about posting anything.

Just a bit more fuel for the fire.
