well i just plan on cooling a processor, which will be a mobile 2800+ athlon64. i planned on mounting a '77 bonneville heater core to the top of my pc-65. i'd have the tubing run through either the top of my case or through one of the 5.25" bays.

now the question is, will this heatercore be adequate to cool my processor passively? i will be overclocking.

if needbe, i'm willing to put a huge heatercore/radiator on the side of my case instead. actually, that was my plan at first, but i can't find one of massive size that wont be a complete pain to modify.

the reason i need to go the passive route is funding. i really can't afford 120mm fans at the moment, and i'm not sure i can pull off making a shroud decently enough that it wont look like complete crap sitting outside of my case.

well, hopefully you guys will have some good news for me. thanks.
