what about water blocks? now all you people callin this poll stupid feel pretty dumb dont ya? well i have a water block in my computer.... THREE OF THEM !!!! heat sinks are for wussies 😉

Post your temps and lets see if they beat my MCX4000 with a Tornado 😉 Most watercooling temps I've seen don't. Silent rigs are for wussies 😉

Muahahaha bring it on, MCX4000 with 11000rpm fan

33c idle on a 2.6C @ 3.3ghz
 
waterblocks are heat sinks. A heat sink draws heat away from one object onto another. Thus yes, a waterblock is a heat sink and your poll is stupid.

I don't think I ever saw temps that high under load with a 2.53 @ 3.23. Iirc I got about 23 or so idle 28-29 under load. I'll write myself a note to install mbm again tonight and take some screenies.

Edit: I should have mentioned the ambient for those temps was around 70-75F
 
I have many heatsinkless computers. No cooling whatsoever.

386++;
486++;

Oh, and no matter what Tom's hardware says, you CANNOT remove a P4's heatsink and it'll throttle down effectively to stay alive. I am in possession of a CPU that was used to test this claim independently (But jake was too stupid to video tape it)
