While I'd agree with you in most situations, I tried a passive sink as said, (using AS epoxy cut with as3 so I could get it off), and it didn't help much at all, actuallytended to heat up other components more.

It is hard to get across the fact that NO fans in the system is very different from even just one in the PSU. I know these components can be rated for high temps, but its still not good practice to run them overly high...... Do we take what AMD state as a maximum safe CPU operating temp as acceptable? I certainly don't, and I don't want anything in my PC at anywhere near 80C, it adds heat to the case ambient, but much more than that It just annoys me
