When I delidded my 3570K, I had to repaste the IHS every 6 months because the TIM baked itself (MX-5), and temperatures just got worse over time. Not inoperable-worse, but a couple of degrees worse. Enough to screw up clocks at the far end of the spectrum after a few months of use.

Thats because you delidded and applied paste during winter and 6 months past it's Summer

Ordinary thermal paste is ghetto. If you're delidding, use Coollaboratory LIQUID Ultra.

Be sure to read up on it, first.

This is what I was getting at. If they use crap TP and it hurts overclocking, this will only affect people with no interest in de-lidding or replacing the TIM every 6 months. I suppose it makes no difference to stock performance.

the market overlap between overclockers and people buying apu's is much lower than you think it is
