~~Well, for the last... 10? 15? years, it would be just a slow sluggish experience. They under/overclock depending on cooling capacity.~~

TIL: they get too hot still and thermal shutdown. Guess i overestimated the flat surface cooling.

This one is even worse than just removing the CPU cooler, because that cooler is now blocking the hot air from leaving the case via the rear fan.

A CPU without a heatsink on it reaches TJMax within seconds, so it would pretty much instantly shut down (just like in the title)...
