I can testify to the weirdness of the IHS. I have a Cascade, a Cascade SS and a WW. With my IHS on, there was really no difference in reported temps (as Cathar mentioned) between a Cascade, a WW and a TC-4. I decided to remove the IHS and go bare die on my CPU. Not only did I drop 4 - 5C, but now, even minute differences can be detected such as mounting variations. I really don't think I will ever use an IHS again. As long as you are careful and use a WB (not an air cooler) then there really is no point to the IHS in my mind.
