The inside of the pipes also contained a copper-coloured crystalline solid - not sure what it was (more copper maybe?). In order to avoid the risk of anything dropping onto the board from inside the pipe after installation, I chose to remount the MOSFET heatsink the opposite way round, so that the open ends were facing up (tower case).
Better way is too place the chipset cooling assembly onto stove burner @ 75% heat for about 10 minutes. While hot, gently twist the mosfet part and it should come loose from heatpipe. then you are left with empty mosfet cooler, and intact heatpipe, should you decide to restore stock cooling!
