Hello,

Anybody running an athlon x2 3800 with passive cooling ?

Preferably a large heatsink only ;) no leaky water stuff ? ;)

Just wondering if that's possible...

Bye,
Skybuck.

Hmm, reading it right now... looking at the picture... it makes me
wonder why they don't paint it black or something.

Black obsorbes the heat/radiation from the processor much better than
reflective stuff/material.

Well, there's multiple reasons but the most basic one is that the primary heat transfer mechanism from CPU to heatsink is by thermal conduction and not radiation.


Oh well.

Bye,
Skybuck.
