This is how a serious gamer sets up air cooling for his CPU.

My goodness, this seems like total overkill.

Under normal use, yes it's overkill. But for enthusiasts looking to use it under extreme load and overclocking to boot, every degree of cooling helps.

 

And there's also the fun in modding things. To the large majority, having a home server with several terrabytes of Plex content is overkill. But then, this is what floats my boat. Apparently, lapping/polishing processors and heatsinks is what float theirs.

This is his second video which is modding of video cards to improve cooling and you thought his cpu effort was overkill!
