We're not the only ones. Notice the shift to heat pipe solutions across the
spectrum by mainstream manufacturers. The new P35 boards I've seen so far
are HEAVY thanks to multiple heat pipe routing across the pcb. I'll take
weight over a bunch of little chipset fans buzzing. Both AMD and Intel
utilize heatpipe coolers to avoid a snowblower on top. And Dell has been
using heatpipes for a good while now.
I think peak noise hit the fan (ho ho ho) right before Y2K where it seemed
every l33t modder or case company put out a box that looked like it got hit
by shrapnel and the holes were plugged up with 5000rpm case fans. I never
caught on to the jet engine under your desk trend, I guess I was alone in
this view for years because many people still thought overclocking was
worthwhile.
