all depends... go without one and test the in/out temps to see the difference...
reason I say that is because when I (I as in like 5 other guys) originally put the IC on I didn have a res... was gonna just add one on sometime...
Then... I did a temp test after some highway driving and then after some around town driving...
With the highway, temps were like ~10* above ambient... around town was ~15-20* above ambient... this was on a ~65* day
Another local with pretty much the same IC setup (think he had a different HE but still similar dimensions) had pretty much the same numbers with a res...
