Overclocker's is all about the average user anymore actually. IHS are designed to bend under pressure and level out. If you lap the top flat then it will not seat properly when under pressure. At least that how it used to be with p4's. That might have all changed. The problem here is you need to use the IHS itself as the other half of the lapping. Certainly needs to come off the CPU or you will kill the CPU trying to lap a block with it. But if you take the IHS off then there is not need to use it at all.
And all this is for what? An unmeasurable gain in temps? It isn't about catering but about common sence IMO. .5C is not worth killing your CPU IMO. The gains are not there.
