McMannic - Re: "My gawd, you're dumb!
I said Step-thermodynamics. They don't cryo cool like Kryotech or liquid cool...they use either peltier coolers or specially designed fan coolers...air cooled.
They take the housing off the Athlon, re-solder the multiplier resistors and bond the cooling device right to the cpu board. Then they sell it to you for their cost and make you buy the cooler.
They do the same thing with the Pentiums and Celerons!"

Yep - I was DUMB and missed that.

Sorry.

But you'll be even DUMBER if you buy such a KLUDGE.
