The result was counterintuitive; all else was the same, but the temp was noticeably cooler. I then decided to swap to the best Socket 7 heat sink I have. Unfortunately, the super glue didn't hold (the shield stuck to the heat sink), so I'll eventually have to try something else. Since right now I only have super glue and JB Weld on hand (JB Weld is forever) I used super glue again for now. The larger heat sink I have cannot be used if the IHS is off since it has ridges that prevent it from being able to make contact with the CPU's core with the shield removed. No surprise that it ran cooler still with a larger heat sink and fan.
J&b weld would probably work great for the corners. I can try it.
I'm sure it would, but it's a bit more permanent than what I'm looking for.
