Heatpipes. I recently got 2 new Dell PowerEdge 2600's in, I opened them up and under the air tunnel that they cap the CPU's with, the HSF's are about 7" tall and use 3 Heat pipes to hold about 20 aluminum plates.

with a Xeon 2.4Ghz running at full load the HSF never got more than just very slightly warm with 2 92mm fans pulling at just a hair over 1500RPM... I seriously doubt going to watercooling would help that thing at all since it already is doing such a great job with the HSF.

BTW I am talking with some Dell folks about getting a couple of those HSF's for myself.
