This cooler has a lot of space between the heatpipes and the heatsink base (especially at the base). Would it help if these dead spaces were closed up? I mean solder it up or put thermal paste?
As with other heatsinks, I notice there is a flat surface at the base. Have been wondering whether cooling would be improved if one were to stick a heatsink over the base....
isn't the spaces between the heatpipes at the base filled with the aluminium ??As with other heatsinks, I notice there is a flat surface at the base. Have been wondering whether cooling would be improved if one were to stick a heatsink over the base....
Heatsink with flat surface, even you put a heatsink on it, it wouldn't help much, unless you put a fan on there.

Errr.... the link is to a sony mp3 player la 
One thing about this cooler is the uneven distribution of heat. I mean, since aluminium is different to copper in terms of heat conductivity and heat specific, this would create different temperature on the IHS.
You know, one stripe of hotter area and one stripe of cooler area.
Well, I guess not so much on the proc itself as the IHS is the one with differential temperature but would it be good for the proc?
I guess the uneven distribution of heat wont be really significant IMHO. One thing about this cooler is the uneven distribution of heat. I mean, since aluminium is different to copper in terms of heat conductivity and heat specific, this would create different temperature on the IHS.

Maybe it does affect, but wont by much i guess.
