Is my Asus EAH4870 using Heatpipe? i can't see what's inside, the HSF is all covered up.

Will i see different if i remove the stock thermal compound with Arctic Cooling MX-2?
I don't want to end up with a mess if only 1-2C lower

NO it will NOT make a difference. aren't you reading what any of the posters are saying?

the only way to vent the heat from the room is to exhaust it out directly or getting better ventilation.

having a heatpipe will NOT change the heat output from the card. whoever told you that is wrong.
 
i totally agree with everyone's input.
i am just wondering if the stock HSF has a heatpipe or not.

first thing is the card is make the room hot, i am afraid itself can't stand the heat either.
