You should try to gather data on other bongs (and filter out the garbage from those people that measured temps after letting it run for 1 minute). Get the heatload, and CPU temps.

Start surfing!
Heat loads have nothing to do with it, a good bong will always out-perform even the best/biggest radiator, since a rad can only ever just approach ambient, and a bong can get X below ambient (depending on humidity ect)

This exprimental bong;


is running around 2-3 degrees below ambient while cooling a p41.8@2.6 1.8v, northbridge, radeon 9700pro core at 390mhz, and with a 70w pump in the res.

I'd say it's the high matainance of bongs that put many people off.
