Maybe an MSI Mobile Pad would fit? I don't know though I haven't had the pleasure yet of working with these chips.

An IHS from an PIV works great also.
can be used on Dothan, Yonah and Merom.

That's true, but they can't be easily found. Where did you get yours ? ;)

Some time ago someone @ XS was selling them.

thanks man...I am contemplating IHS removal on my AM2 3500, but scrapped the idea because I was too worried about crushing the core with my clip on heatsink (uneven pressure to the core would kill!) but now I might proceed with this method...I just have to shave down the cam head of the socket!

which will dissipate heat well
naked core or not naked core

without of course.

why?

let common sense help you find the answer:)
