I fail to see why you'd want to bother personally, when on his own test bed the XP-90C does better, is probably cheaper, and is CERTAINLY easier. The only possible reasons that i can think of is either A) to be different or B) to move the heat out of the case or C) perhaps it will be useful with TEC cooling, and more scalable than a heatpipe, but i dont know enough on the subject to be able to comment.

It adds clutter, will certainly require modding to fit, isnt an upgrade path like water (i dont see the ability to add a gpu waterblock being particularly viable).

Personally im failing to see the point in chosing this over a good hsf, barring its TEC performance.
