Heat pipe NB cooler...has anyone seen one like this?

[imported_Mant]

I saw this. in Anand's Computex coverage the other day. Check out the chipset cooler on that Asus board. That would be sweet to replace my LOUD stock NB cooler. Has anyone seen anything like this anywhere else?

What a great idea ... that's the first time I see a heat pipe used to cool the chipset.

I'm sure other mobo makers will soon follow suit if the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium turns out to be a good seller.

Only where you sited it. Anticipating seeing these types of NB coolers being developed for all mobos. Ingenious idea!

I wonder if DFI will counter with their own coolers, and if 3rd party ones will be available.

Great idea, but I smell some potential compatibility problems?
