Blah! I double checked and I was quite wrong. The X2 4200+ comes with the standard HSF. It's a good thick based aluminum HS, but it isn't the heat pipe version.
 
It's not just the heat pipe that makes this cooler interesting.

If you compare the fins between this and the regular all-aluminum sink, you'll see that the heat pipe one has many more thinner fins (= much more surface area = better cooling efficiency).
