What would happen if...?

How long would it take a decent rig to overheat if you took away all of the cooling devices?

um, instantly...

Not very. Don't try it unless you want a very expensive paperweight!

It would be dead before it finished booting into the O/S.

idle system with a heatsink would probably be fine.

if you were to rip of the heatsink it would probably die faster tham the machine would turn it self off
