It would work, but you have to be careful about the fit. The two things to ensure are to have good contact pressure and contact area. You will get good contact area by drilling a hole and inserting the pipe into the hole, but the contact pressure will not be so good. My personal feeling is that the pressure would be low enough that you'd create a sizeable thermal resistance from the pipe to the block.brett wrote: Do you think it would work if the heatpipe holes were drilled into a solid block of copper?
Some digging in my memory and a quick Google search found some places in Germany. Alternately ask the manufacturer who their resellers are.shoebox9 wrote:So, does anyone know where you can buy heat pipes, two years+ after this article was first published??
