Shuttle I.C.E Heatpipe

[Bateluer]

How does it work, how well does it work, is it easy to install the proc in it, and what are the odds that you could crack the CPU core? *breathes* Thats all for now.

Works great on my SN41G2. Actually has less chance of core cracking then with the spring steel clamps of most heat sinks.

1. Here's an article on how a different heatpipe works, but the shuttle one works on the same principle.
2. It works great!
3&4. Very easy to install, instead on a crappy clip, there are 4 thumbscrews, one on each corner of the heatpipe. Just screw those suckers down and you're in business. Much less initial pressure is applied than with a clip, so I think you'd really have to try to crack a core.

You still use a thermal compound witha heatpipe, such as Artic Silver or no?

Yep, AS2 here.
