they don't need them in the sense that they can boot up and start working without them. but current ones will just overheat and shut down within 10-20 seconds to prevent themselves burning up from the heat. sorta like a car. it doesn't need tires to run and move around, it just won't make it very far without them.

I'll just let the completely illogic statement speak for itself... A CPU will simply overheat without a heatsink/fans.

I'll just let the completely illogic statement speak for itself... A CPU will simply overheat without a heatsink/fans. unless it's one designed to run without. ;) like VIA chips IIRC, or maybe they just had small passive heatsinks. i just like being proper and accurate when i say something, i guess. a processor doesn't always need one, but the desktop CPU's that we're using right now generally do.
Yes, you need them. And no, the CPU will not run fine without it. The CPU needs something to transfer it's heat out of it. Leaving it in open space has no transfer, so the CPU will run hot quick. The heatsink absorbs the heat, while the fan cools and blows the heat away from the heatsink.
lol i dont you lot understand what happends when you dont have a fan and heatsink. i saw it on some video on youtube it runs at over 1K C and starts to burn up, ill try get the video now.
