I removed the IHS off my second SD 3700.
Load temps before removal = 52c (Prime 95)
Load temps after removal = 42c (Prime 95)
I learned that when you remove your IHS the Heat Sink sits up very slightly on the CPU socket shoulder. I took the edge of the heatsink that sits on top of the shoulder and ground about a 32 of an inch off/down.
That made the HS sit perfectly flush on the Die.
Before I ground that down I was only getting 4 degrees of the load temp.
Yes my overclock Became stable at a lower voltage.
I thought I would take the opertunity to show my baby off
