Nu til dags har alle fornuftige kølere efterhånden heatpipes. Bundkort producenter bruger dem til at køle nord og sydbro i en og samme omgang. Heatpipes har vist sig at være en metode der kan overføre rigtig meget varme, spørgsmålet er så om større heatpipes vil øge overførslen ?
"
The coolers from Thermalright and Xigmatek have both done well in my today's tests. They are sure to gain recognition among overclockers due to their very high performance and low noise level, compatibility with every modern platform and competitive pricing. The Xigmatek HDT-S1283 is a leader in terms of performance/price ratio as it costs less than the other three coolers (and you have to buy fans separately for Thermalright's heatsinks). As for drawbacks, the mainboard bends rather unpleasantly under the Thermalright SI-128. You have to press on the locks quite heavily to install it, which is not easy to do inside a system case."
