Your response indicated, if I recall right, that such active cooling could indeed add a notable amount to the cooling. In fact you urged him to report back results.

Did he? Or have you yourself done any testing in this area?

Thanks
Speaking of such http://www.overclockers.com/tips1177/ no heatsink though. I seen this tried many times over the years and most still rely on onboard temps for measurments. Well what happens when you put a fan back there? Cools the thermister and throws off the reading.
