If I place a spanner on my fins they bend .... what's it like right at the front there?

Do you spend a lot of time bending the fins back?

Just had a thought ...... what about pumping air conditioning around the IC?

Maybe even some freezing gas squirted onto the fins?

I'm sure it's been thought of ...... why not?

I'm thinking about this now ...... placing the IC right in front of the radiator means that there is less cooling to the engine - so the engine runs hotter. That cannot be good?
