As soon as there is a single fan installed (aka FORCED air), that chimney effect is useless,
same reason i laugh when ppl talk about "heat rising", while rig isnt (completely) passive..

syure, still doesn't change the fact that any chimney effect will be irrelevant once a fan is introduced.
and i had external pump/passive rad in 2006, with a single 120 fan for the case, so this isnt any news for ppl really interested in running less fans

in the real world this might add maybe .002% in performance. honestly as soon as you put a fan in the mix it completely wipes out any thermal dissipation of heat from it rising to to ambient conditions.
