Why not a monster Heatsink...

[Tim the Toolman]

Im sure there is a reason this is not done please elighten me....

I seem to remember from physics class that on a metal plate heat tends radiate to the edges... Why not build a large copper plate heatsink thats about the 120mm + lap proccessor area and mount. Use an epoxy weld compound for fins and fan mounts...

ummmmmmm

and where would it fit?

 

[mrpcman]

plus it would cost a buttload of money and still not be able to run lower than room temp.

really no need to, copper is so good anyways you don't need something that big. I have seen some that are about 3 feet tall for the extreme overclocking, it just isn't worth it. Besides, with water cooling now, there is no reason not too.

I know my KT7A MoBo does not have enough room around the CPU for too much of anything. They put these big capacitors right next to the socket.

the only thing stopping my global win fop 32-1 from going lower is room temprature
