Where as the entire heatsink length is cooled by the air. I do not believe there is a heatpipe underneath either. The contact area from that SB heatsink to the NB waterblock is so small, it doesnt matter much if at all to teh SB. You think if it worked as you say that would be mentioned on the box. It says NB watercooler, not NBand SB.

We will agree to disagree I suppose.
Hehe
Well if theres no heatpipe underneath the plate there wont indeed be a big decrease in heat.
Altough I must say that it will always be cooler/better than air-cooling only.
Metal also distributes heat, far less than a good copper heatpipe, but it does.
Maybe its just 1-2`c difference but hey, cooler is better
Think that its time for some good oc-tests dont you agree?
