Hahahaha!
I'll bet that's the last time this author gets smart with throwbacks!!!
If he wanted to be taken seriously, he should have used 6-1/2" Flexible Diagonal Cutter Pliers from Harbor Freight, instead of his GF's Fiskar Dressmaker Scissors...

creepily i think there is always some truth behind vindsl's comments, sometimes...
i just installed the new gemini i was talking about and i touched the heatpipe and i can feel a liquid or something moving back and forth in there
and something has to be going on since when i installed it it was ideling at 85c and i was all of this thing im going back to my zalman then it dropped 25C in 5 mins so there has to be something going on in there, it droped anouther 2c while i was typeing

Basically, all we're seeing is denial and justification!
Do you ppl REALLY think this isn't an issue? Really?!?!?!?
All heatpipes are the same and perfect... is what I'm hearing!

lol best thread ever quotewise. sheesh. i just cut open my tires.. dammit, they're empty. how the heck does my car drive on like nothing, ya know?
oh wait, i had nitrogen in the tires. didn't see any of that either. bugger.
while y at it.. cut open a phasechange system 'n tell us what you see. you'll probably smell it only though.. (don't do it btw, it's illegal to let the gas go off into the atmosphere)...
sky / s!p - we are oldskool, dammit.
Seems odd...
You can find tests, reviews, shoot-outs, et cetera -- all sorts of minutia on EVERY other computer component -- capacitors, thermal grease, ink cartridge refills -- you name it! Where are the tests, reviews, and shoot-outs on heatpipes (themselves), just like other components?
This guy cuts open a few heatpipes, finds nothing inside, and his findings are dispatched with a belch... Hello?!?!?!
If you can't destroy the truth, destroy the truth-teller, right?

he didn't do anything except cut open a few pipes, what sort of testing is that?
Its been said before not all pipes contain liquid.
If he had several of the same heatsinks, like Ultra120, tested under normal use, and then severed the heatpipe ends at the top, and if the temps were the same then just maybe there might be something worth talking about.
Otherwise he's just a regular joe cutting stuff, I could do that.

luckyNV has a point, i'd like to see that test done after the heatsink has been heated up.
tbh, i could care less. there could be mini firefighters inside them tubes (like the ones from the gaviscon advert) and as long as it works then its cool
When I cut the copper tube off the end of my Abit IP-35 Pro mosfet heatsink, only a minute amount of Absolut dribbled out
