New CPU Cooler
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

That would make for an interesting article. Someone should try it and write it up.a2jfreak said
That HS might be better than chewing gum wrapping paper, but not much. I'd pass on it.
I read the article. That's why I want two CPUs donated to me, and I'll supply the chewing gum wrapper and that heatsink. We'll see how long it'll fold gromacsGeeky1 said
You guys should read the article @ dan's. I've known about this thing for a while and have been trying to finagle a way to clamp it onto an athlon. Heatpipes conduct heat far, far better than solid metal does, and Dan got something like .50*C/W with it using a low-speed case fan pointed at it from something like a foot away (that's what I recall that he said anyhow). If you were to strap a fan or two to that thing, it'd probably make for one hell of a cooler, possibly better than the slk-900.
with both setups before the CPU burns out. I'm prepared to keep an open mind. I'll be surprised, though, if the CPU doesn't burn out before completing one WU with the fanless heatsink, and I'll be surprised if the CPU doesn't burn out before booting to Windows with the chewing gum wrapper... but I'll report it honestly. I plan on using Wrigley's Doublemint, unless anybody has a better suggestion?
Use Big Red - it'll drop those temps like a peltier!GHoosdum said
Send on the CPUs!
A sub-2w case fan is gonna move ~30cfm or less if it's 80mm and it will be very, very quiet. So, you assume 0.5*C/W, and the thing can now handle a 76w heat load, which is good enough for any P4 below 3GHz; the 2.8 dissipates 70w of heat, so it'd probably run somewhere around 62*C, which is uncomfortably warm but not dangerously hot.... I want an Athlon version!super-quiet sub-two-watt case fan pointed at it from several inches away. And bing, there was that big forced air cooling improvement once again; it didn't take much to get the score down to only a hair above 0.5°C/W.

I don't know, looks way to tall, and there is no place to put a fan on it.
This however, makes more sense:

) but if you figure that the thing is indeed capable of cooling a p4 without a fan, in theory, if it had a fan, it would be one hell of a heatsink.
Think of it this way instead: Where is the idea then if it would have a fan?With todays "wattmakers, its IMPOSSIBLE to run the cpu in a fanless system and without liquid cooling. Cant argue with physics.Geeky1 said
Of course, I could always be mistaken too... (not likely tho... I'm almost never wrong
