LTT can handle the alderlake warping issue.
You're excited about your new setup and upgrades. It's great you're thinking ahead about performance and longevity. The Intel Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) can indeed be a point of concern, especially with high-end CPUs like the Alder Lake. Modifying the IHS or adjusting heat spreader points might help manage thermal issues. Many enthusiasts have explored ILM modifications to further optimize cooling. Your concerns are valid—staying informed about these changes will help you get the most out of your system.
I watched the video and he performed the procedure in the same manner. He mentioned that with the minimal temperature drop seen, damaging the board wasn't justified by the reduction of less than 10°C. He also demonstrated that the chip began and ended without bending using a flat surface as a reference. It's possible he obtained a chip that simply didn't bend; it could be. Differences in motherboard mounting and variations among chips might play a role, could be.
