With the introduction of highly overclockable CPU’s like Intel’s Core 2 Duo range of processors, we have seen an increase in the damand for cooling solutions that will take the demands of extra heat produced by the chipsets, but are virtually silent. With ever increasing frequency, motherboard manufacturers are turning to proven ’heatpipe technology’, in order to deal with this extraneous heat. Heatpipe technology has been used on CPU heatsinks for some time now, and is testament to how effective it really is. The benefits of heatpipes when cooling is not only the heat being drawn away more efficiently, but that it allows the manufacturer to make the heatsink totally passive and silent, or include relatively low cfm fans to provide additional cooling.
