XP Mobile Cooling Options

hey everyone. i am trying to figure out a way to cool a xp mobile 2400+ 35W without a fan. any ideas on a good heatsink/heatpipe solution. this mobile will not be overclocked and is being used for low heat, so i need a heatsink that can accomodate that. this is for a custom box build so there will be intake and outake fans, but that is all. any suggestions are welcome
 
^^ looks like a good idea :D
just an idea, you could lower the voltage and underclock the cpu too if you had heat issues
 
that heatsink looks interesting. i like the concept. i will be ducting the intake and exhaust fans to blow/suck over the cpu and mobo heatsinks so i dont think airflow should be an issue.

any other ideas?
 
any thoughts about the lighter copper/aluminum version of that zalman heatsink. it is far lighter, but does anyone have any experience with the difference in cooling?
 
Aluminum transfers heat from the heatsink to the air faster
Copper transfers heat from the CPU to the heatsink better
 
aluminum does not in ANY way beat copper for thermal conductivity.....The belief that aluminum transfers heat faster is INCORRECT. However, aluminum has certain advantages and they are being light weight, low cost and easy to machine. Thus it would be possible to create a much larger heatsink, thus increasing the surface area than one made out of copper, this is the design idea behind thermalrights new heatsinks. By increasing the surface area you are able to improve its convection to the air via the heatsink.

The all copper version will work better, but weight more. That is the jist of it
