The end user would then use thermal epoxy to hold the heatpipe in place. Mounting of the "universal" block I haven't thought of. Such a system, if properly designed, would have large applications outside of computers, btw.
edit: I forgot to mention that the heatpipes would be bent to route from the heatsource to the "universal" block.

I know what you mean. One big block with a bunch of smaller blocks piped to it. Pretty much impossible. Pipes can't bend nor can they be length adjustable if used like the products in this thread (have to have the solid material inside them to transfer the heat, the pipe itself is not transfering the heat). Other alternative is phase change which the tubes probably could be bent but they are not adjustable in length as they have gas in side them.
Even if it was possbile no manufacture on earth would consider such a thing. Your talking 10's of millions of dollars. Being 99% of the computing world uses air cooling there is no way they would make profits off that. They can't even make much profit off current cooling items.
Work on it for a while and prove me wrong.
