what do you call heat? I idle at 48c load 59c with the arctic 7 cooler. I have lapped the CPu but didnt make much difference. I have never fancied water so I too am waiting for the magic cooler - maybe one from Cebit 2007. There were some very interesting HSFs from Akasa - closed loop liquid and OCZ -suck blow prototype on show there plus others from the major players. There may be hope!
