Isn't the purpose of a heat pipe to move heat from the source to a location on the other end of the pipe? What then? Doesn't the heat need to be dissipated from there? If so, how is dissipating that heat going to be any different than now. 100watts is a 100watts. Just because it is moved to a different area doesn't mean your going to get any great performance improvements or quieter computers. You are still going to need a rad (of some kind) and a fan to get anything resembling performance no? If that is the case then what's the point? :shrug:

I can see the uses in a laptop or notebook but not in a Desktop.
