Heatsink for hot CPU this summer

[GenghisK]

Okay okay, you could think it should rather be in the joke forum, but no, it's really serious. Below are some pics of the new prescott heatsink, shown at the Computex Show 2004... No comment

No more need for liquid nitrogen to overclock a prescott up to 10ghz.

Yeah... now try to fit it into the case!

Seriously, though... that's isane, where's he gonna get the juice to power that thing?

It looks like a plane engine more than a heatsink...
I think the motherboard can fly when it is turned on

That must need some power... wonder how much the heatsink warms the room up...

Yes, but his heat transfer is going to be limited by conduction, not convection.
