Like My Heatsink?

So wait, wait, you say like "My Heatsink", I see no heat sink. You have to have a heat sink, there's no way you have that fan just blowing of the processor.
 
Please tell me you don't just have a fan blowing on your CPU? That will NOT work at all. You're going to fry your CPU.

Running your CPU without a Heatsink/Fan is like sprinting 100 yards without breathing. It's just not possible.

He has to, it wouldn't last 1 min without popping(or just shutting off/damaging the processor). There's some cool videos on youtube of processors exploding :).

I really didn't take that good of pictures. When I said heatsink, I just meant the fan cooling the system down, I have the proper fan inside, maybe I should have taken a picture without the fan....
Oh well, It's a pretty dodgy case, only 1 case fan, but i am going to drill holes in the side so i can have a proper case fan.
And to the people who said it wouldn't work (if I had used that as the cpu heatsink), how was I able to post them on CF?

You're getting terms mixed up here. The heatsink is the chunk of metal sitting on top of your CPU. The fan is called the CPU fan.

As for cooling, you can always try dremeling out a hole across from your heatsink and adding a fan duct.
