Would it be possible for me to cool a cpu without a heatsink ?

Unless its switched off, no.

Stelly · 7 Jul 2006 at 17:01

with water cooling yes, but you NEED to have some kind of cooling on the chip mate... sorry

Ok cheers anyway. Atleast i asked before i went ahead and tried it

Lets be specific here, as I'm pretty sure my old 486 sx25 chip didn't need a heatsink.

Stelly · 7 Jul 2006 at 17:04

"Hide the heatsink" is only a fun game, for so long.

Guaranteed to find it, after you buy one.

It's just the way these things work - although I haven't played that particular hiding game yet myself.

Right it was funny the 1st time, but now your just annoying me

Ive found a cpu fan just need the heatsink now lol :rolleyes:

underclocked and unvolted then yes it is possible

I have heard somewhere about an old Celeron running at 90 degrees odd without a HSF. Bit warm for my liking, but apparently it ran ok.
