Someone who's going to find NewTekie1 and teach hi
Processor DualCore AMD Athlon 64x2 4800+ (o/c 2801mhz STABLE (Ketxxx, POGE, Tatty One, ME))
Motherboard ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (PCIe x16, x4, x1)
Cooling PhaseChange Coolermaster CM754/939 (fan/heatsink), Thermalright heatspreaders + fan built on (RAM)
Memory 512mb PC-3200 DDR400 (set DDR-33 for o/c) by Corsair (matched pair, 2x256mb) 200.1/200mhz
Video Card(s) BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC 512mb GDDR3 ram (o/c manually to 686 core/865 memory) - PhaseChange cooled

Case Antec Super-LanBoy (aluminum baby-tower w/ lower front & upper rear cooling exhaust fans)
Audio Device(s) RealTek AC97 onboard mobo stereo sound (Altec Lansing ACS-45 speakers - 10 yrs. still running!)
Power Supply Antec 500w ATX 2.0 "SmartPower" powersupply
Software Windows Server 2003 SP #1 fully patched, & massively tuned/tweaked to-the-max (plus latest drivers)
More area = More heat can be transfered. The same way heaters work, just that his is for cooling ;p

So if there is more area on the IHS it can transport more heat to the copper cooler. And yes I think this will work. Not like -20°C but it will give some advantage.
Why? a) IBM scientists better know what they are doing, b) the 'more area = more heat dispense' has been used for decades anywhere where heat dispension is important.

You're "dead on right" & it's the SAME principal heatsinks use really... increase of surface area, via folding the surface & allowing for more of a "heat transferral event horizon".

APK

P.S.=> Personally, I wouldn't expect 'gigantic/knockout' blow-your-mind levels of better cooling, but it should work... IBM imo @ least, STILL has some of the finest most experienced minds out there in this field... apk

well if they really wanted this to work right they would get w/ a hsf company and build a pair together as in lets say all sAM2 cpus are grooved in the same manner and all sAM2 hsf are grooved in the same manner they would interlock giving a larger surface area thus better heat transfer and then with that comes better cooling
