Jaydee I am pretty sure ion was replying to my whining ass, as my post was numbered 1,2,3

Oh you CAN dissipate this heat with passive heatpipes all right. BUT AT WHAT TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL?

This is the same sort of way that HWLabs get rated for heat dissipation I think; huge difference between the water and air. Will be same thing with components in the Zalman most likely.

I have a 1600+ XP that runs with a fan at 5V on it at 75-80C in the summertime. Case temps are low 40s. In that particular case I care more about silence than about cooling. We'll see how the Zalman system compares to just big heatsinks with 5V fans or better yet water cooling with a couple of 5V L1A or Stealth 120s.
