LGA Processor Heat Spreader Removal

@ 2006/08/20
In our endless attempts to squeeze out the last MHz from our processors, some of us have resorted to removing the integrated heat spreaders (commonly refered to as IHS among enthusiasts) on our processors in a bid to improve thermal efficiency, to garner that 2-3 degrees, and trade it for that final 10MHz.
