It won't help at all unless you bake it to melt the solder paste and join the CPU to the IHS.

At least 180C depending on the paste. You wont ever reach those temps by stressing the CPU.

I don't even know if intel uses a special paste when soldering their CPUs, so it may or may not work.

Worst case scenario you end up with a dead CPU.

 

The normal solution is to use liquid metal thermal compound, which is just as good if not better than solder.

so how was the xbox 360 de sodding its cpu? it must have gotten hot?

 

oh my bad this is an old post...
