    I'd guess this is the key part:

    In order for it to work with a "full" Quad you'd need the passive single CPU cooler make contact with both CPUs AND than have it get rid of twice the energy it was supposed to handle.


    Well, not really, since (at least from what's seen on the photos) he used only one heatsink. The dual processor models have two, so it would be one such heatsink for each CPU.


    Bingo, that is what I was thinking. The air-cooled models use separate heatsinks, while the water-cooled models use one unified cooler.
    But the CPU cards appear similar.
