We report an instantaneous heating scheme at z=2 that can produce bound objects obeying the observed mass-temperature and luminosity-temperature relations. Such heating reduces the Sunyaev–Zeldovich (SZ) flux by a factor 3–2 on scale of 4–6 arcminutes. It exacerbates the need for the matter-fluctuation normalization to σ8 to assume an exceedingly high value (~1.2), if the several-arcminute excess anisotropy detected by the CBI experiment is entirely caused by the SZ effect of inter-galactic hot gas. By contrast, we find that the several-arcminute excess detected by ACBAR can be consistent with the preheated SZ signals of σ8=1.
