Motherboard Cooling
Heatpipes are quickly becoming a standard in motherboard cooling and for fairly good reason they do a good job at it. Traditionalist like myself really have a hard time seeing the benefit to a heatpipe trail since they really just move the heat from whatever happens to be hottest to the next colder area. So, for those looking to keep everything cool a connected heatpipe might not be the best solution but they do work.
DFI has a pretty interesting setup here. The main cooler is comprised of 3 aluminum heatsinks placed over the PWM, Northbridge, and Southbridge. Each is connected by a single heatpipe which is then physically bolted down to the PCB.
Pictures seem to do a better job describing the system so check them out.
