Intel heatsinks bending boards

Holy shit! Ummm that is a motherboard, not a CPU right? If so, then WTF?! Christ, how do you fit a heatsink so big in a case?

BTW, isn't it true that heatsinks+fans only work effectively up to a certain temperature because you eventually end up blowing around hot air? Although I remember reading that you need to have a setup that takes the hot air out of the case, so I guess merely having air blowing is not enough for hot chips.

Yeah. Air should be pulled from the front of the case, and exit out the upper back in a timely and single file manner.

or a similar setup to my car should be used

liquid coolent move from a plastic tube onto the waterblock and out to the big radiater with 3 or 4 120mm fans attached to it, driven by some sort of pump.
