Call me crazy, but....

do you think I'd be able to get away with cooling a 1.3 intel 370 celeron (33.4 TDP) with the Asus heatsinks

or

they have been reported to easily bendable.
The copper version since it has two, the south bridge base could be bent under the north bridge to "double" the efficiency

does anyone know the actual TDP of the nForce4 chip? I've seen reports up to 60C which suggests that it is a hot chip.

I'm thinking of putting it a custom case geared for silence using a former emachine T1360 which MB has intergrated everything.

Of course this will not be totally passive, but will recieve plenty of airflow via 120 fan

Some issues that come to mind
CPU mounting, mine is only the "clip type", so I'd have to find a way to keep pressure on it
inadequate cooling?

Thanks
