I am! If I were you, I'd yield to the higher intellect re heat displacement Here I was, thinking that such blatant name dropping would get IanBruce nowhere. For the benefit of others here goes a detailed physics explanation from the prefesser.... Alomex> According to your reasoning, more area dissipates heat Alomex> only when fashioned like a griddle but not when extended Alomex> flat like a casing. IanBruce> Yes, Yes -- No, no. Increased area dissipates more heat. For the case of fluids this is known as the convection rate equation. IanBruce> as any ninth-grader could tell you, that's IanBruce> it exactly. Nobody makes flat heat sinks for a simple IanBruce> reason -- it's nearly useless. Some configurations are better than others. Still if you take any given configuration, and just increase the area the dissipation improves. Call the "University of Albany" (sic) and ask them.
