hell it might work... I'm assuming you have something like a delta screamer on the 462... but chances are the 250W of heat would just be too much
To really see a benefit you'd have to keep the heatsink down to about 60C, that'd have your cpu a couple of degrees above ambient, to keep 250W of heat at that is going to need a HSF capable of 0.14C/W... which is a bit more than most get (.2-.3 is nearer the mark).
