I must admit to being a wee bit skeptical about this.
C2D's are very cool chips but I had no idea they were that good.
As dies have shrunk and power requirements gone down, I do believe the need for ultra high zoot cooling (specifically, water cooling) has all but disappeared, especially at stock speeds.
But, a bare chip has practically no capability of dissipating heat and saying it will run naked for 24 hours is kind of hard to believe.
Any links to this test?
