An egg needs to reach around 70c to properly thicken and cook. By that bar almost any modern video card could do it.

Edit: now I'm hungry.
 
If you actually follow the links you see the following:

So this thread's title is a lie. They did not cook omlets, they tried, and it remained as raw eggs.
 
The problem with that egg is that the contact between spoon and heatsink is very weak, they probably touch each other in a very small surface area, so even if the heatsink had 100 C+ it would not make the omelet, because there isn't any heat transfer between the two. Now, if he would have packed the egg in an aluminium folio, omelet was probably done with no problem. 🙂

The thread and test was a stinking joke. 🙄 If he was serious about cooking the egg he could have used aluminum foil or something that would have good heat transfer. He then may have ended up with only ashes left if he didn't keep his eye on it. 😀
