2. As the NB and SB are close by and the graphics card PCB is cooler and the open cooler provides airflow, NB and SB cool more efficiently than with leafblower cooler design.

3. A few degrees of fluctuation in CPU temperature limit your OC? If so, I'm sure you don't pay attention to stability too much then.

4. Take a physics course.

2. P55/H55 for example don't have NB and ICH10R on 45nm is a small and cold chip. And also applies p. 1.
3., see p. 1 for Cpu, and if we speek about DDR3 memorys, DDR3 memory is very cold compared to DDR2 so no problem.
4. There are 1200-1300RPM fans with 21-26db noise, so there are very silent, silent than your VGA.
You guys are trying to ell me that it's OK to have hot air inside the case.?

I gotta admit you both are good at going around the point. Please try to keep it real, and on topic, and tell me why do you want that hot air inside the case when a good cooler could dump it outside?
