Pretty well, actaully. Most newer HP hoolers aren't just empty pipes, and use textured wicks and nets inside them so that capilary action can do the work. This causes a slight hit in efficiency of each heatpipe, but allows the coolers to even work upside-down with almost no performance loss.Originally posted by: PlatinumGold
and if it worked well, it might even have it's place, but how well could a heat pipe work if it was laid out horizontally the way it will in most tower cases?

Hmm. So why don't they just attach a mini-sized lava-lamp to the top of the CPU's heatspreader, and add some lighting for effect, and call it a day then?
PS. I don't think that I can ever read a P4 CPU spec-sheet and think about the #THERMTRIP signal the same way ever again...

Heres an idea.....
Dig a hole 8 inches wide, 16 feet deep down where the temp is the same all year round. Go to a hardware store get a 16 foot length of 8" PVC and two caps. Cap one end and shove it down. Install NPT threads in the other cap. Cap the other end. Get a two large AC pumps to pump water to your computer and back. Get water block. BAM! Silent where you computer is. And more practical than this thing.

You joke about it, but I saw a mod where a guy did just that. He was totally bent on getting a 100% silent PC, so he buried a big water tank in the back yard for his water cooling with a borrowed back hoe. Put all the pumps outdoors, and since the tank was underground the temps were below ambient.
A quick google search didn't turn up any links offhand, but I read about it a couple years ago.
