Because when I REALLY hit my CPU, it's gonna need the heat dissipation
anyway. I regularly peg my CPU out at 100% for hours on end.

Which isn't to say that software cooling isn't good - in the average case,
it keeps the cpu at a lower temperature and that can help extend the life
and improve stability, but if my CPU can't cope with the temperature it hits
after an hour at 100% cpu, then it can't cope at all.
