HSF w/ Heat Pipes Any Good?

[bismarck]

Hey

I saw these heat pipe designs show up about six months ago.

Are they worth the money??

Thanks

if they work, they work pretty damn good
which one were you looking at?

Cooler Master's HHC-001 is nice

 

[bismarck]

Yep

I saw that one and CoolMaster's other Heat Pipe one, HHC-L61 and the Taisol CMK702151A.

They look pretty impressive.

Are they worth the money? Would a high-end HSF do the same job?

Comments?

HHC-001 are loud though!! HHC-002 are much quieter.

I read on DansData that the Coolermaster HSF with heatpipes performs identically to it's sibling without the heatpipes. I have read that the Taisol HSF is good, but I forgot where. None of this is from personal experience. The HSF in the Shuttle systems is also supposed to be really good.

Yea

I saw one of those Shuttle Systems in an Article at Via Arena. They look really sweet.

Thanks for stopping by everyone.

I have one in my shuttle ss50, it works great as the case is very small, not much room for a traditional large heatsink/fan combo. It lowered the cpu temps significantly during full load, plus reduced noise by eliminating the case intake fan.
