Fostering Better Heatsinks - Does Zalman really use Composite Heatpipes? @ Frostytech

We all know that heatpipes are made differently for different purposes and one of the most efficient types is the sintered design.  Sintering is the process of creating solid shapes from powder and as a heatpipe the process does a great job at moving heats from one end to the other.

Heatpipes are among THE most important components of a modern heatsink, but not all heatpipes are created equal. The problem for consumers is that you can't see what's inside a sealed copper tube embedded in a heatsink. You simply have to trust what the manufacturer says is true, unless you want to destroy a rather expensive heatsink... so Frostytech did just that.

Makes me want to start tearing apart some of my coolers and see what is inside.
