Came across an article at acesharedware about grounding the top of your cpu lid to eliminate emf created in the cpu. Depending on your case this can increase stability and allow you to decrease core voltage and still run at higher clocks.Has anybody else heard of this or tried it. The article was pertaining to SS7 systems. Aces was down when I tried to find the link, I'll try later.http://www.lostcircuits.com/cpu/peltier/here's the link if anyone is interested.

I don't know about that, but rip open a G4 and you'll see that the HS is grounded to the case...
Hehehe, I just love how they are all PC inside, I mean ATA/66, PCI, AGP...The only thing diff. is the CPU and OS...
In theory, the top of your CPU should have any current going through it, so grounding it wouldn't hurt. It wouldn't only work on a CPU with a metal cap though. You could ground your sink, or put a few strands of wire between your sink and your processor, and then ground that to the case.
I don't know if it would do you any good or not, but it shouldn't hurt any.

I was wrong, It's not grounded on a G4, the G3s are grounded. I don't know that with such small etching of thies newer chips that this is as big of a problem. But go for it, couldn't hurt anything. Let us know how it goes
