Is it worth the effort cooling a chipset?

Overheated system chipsets can cause instability, causing unpredictable system crashes. It tends to happen when an inferior wafer/die is used in manufacturing. If the power dissipation exceeds specification, cooling is required or it will kill the chip. That's why el-cheapo VCD players always break down - so you have to buy again.
