Interesting, removing the IHS apparently did not help with temps at all.

I don't think that the cooler used is meant for use on a cpu without heatspreader. I think it needs a little more mass at the base to distribute the heat to all of the heatpipes.
Kyle, the test that you linked to is likely to have issues with mounting pressure when giving up the thickness of the IHS and a mount intended for used with a given thickness chip (chip with IHS-in this instance). would guess it had very low mounting force which could change temps for the worse very easily
I would trust a scenario much more with just having a mounting system that went through the mobo to mount the hsf or waterblock. and at least having a chance to get good pressure on the chip
That too, but I think its fine because it doesn't have bare heatpipes. The cooler is not the problem, at this point it is mounting pressure. The fact that the temps went UP when ISH was removed, means there is at least some pressure problem. This can be easily verified by applying pressure on the cooler while maintaining counterpressure on the backplate.. using a hand /(or screwdriver while watching the temperature difference (in small increments) as pressure if mounting allows for more tightening headroom) is gradually applied. This way a knee temperature could be found depending on pressure mount.
What about a Venomous X with its variable pressure knob? Sounds like it may be a good heatsink for testing direct die cooling, once it's lapped to be sure it's flat as possible to match the die.
Yeah that must be due to mount pressure... and if you look at the bare die / paste / HSF picture you can see the cooler wasn't making proper contact - I wonder if the cooler is bowed?Interesting, removing the IHS apparently did not help with temps at all.

That would be quite prefect..
