Not very often am I surprised and impressed, but this is one of those times: a 92mm tower form-factor with the heatpipe density of a 120mm by stacking heatpipes on top of heatpipes. This is actually a very good idea and I am surprised I didn't come up with it first
Judging from the stats there, it could be twice as effective per unit mass as some other common heatsinks.

While reading your post, I started to think whether increasing the radius (thickness) of the heatpipes would be more efficient. Then another question came to my mind; what about flat heatpipes going through the fins?xev wrote:yea i read that but didnt feel like correcting myself.
whats your prediction on temps
i dont think that it will be as good as twice the mass unit either. while heatpipes are very crucial to performance, i dont feel that simply adding more necessarily gives a big boost
A quick search on Google and found this Auras prototype with flat heatpipes. Interesting idea.
