You know what would be a cool cooling method?

[VIAN]

Imagine a heatsink on the CPU that looked like a water block, but it had 2-4 heatpipes attaching to a nice heatsink in the back of the motherboard tray that was nice because it had all this surface area. It just screwed on to the mobo tray. And on that side of the case were 1-2 nice quiet 120mm fans blowing or sucking on that heatsink.

Do you think that would be effective?

No. If you'd look, it's basically been tried.

[Davegod]

bargain at 10% of the price

Wow. That's a pretty cool case, but expensive. Thanks for your responses.

buddy if you're looking for a cooler that can match water cooling performance buy the Thermaltake Tower112

here's another link

that TT thing is a copy of the gigabyte 3d thingy IMHO. I've not read either of them to be nearly as good as the usual suspects for great cooling - thermalright SLK900, swiftec etc.

copy or not I don't care, if this baby can cool then I'm buying it! as I showed in that review on top that this cooler beat the Swiftec MCX478-V and Thermalright SLK-900U heatsinks

Also mentioned in the review is that it was tested in a desktop orientation and not a tower. Heatpipes rely on gravity to work and in a tower orientation they usually don't work as well. All's fine if you have a desktop case.
