Different ways to obtain heatpipes

  The plate is soldered to the pipes but can be easily torn off. You can unsolder it but I wouldn’t recommend you to heat the pipes without strong necessity.
 

   Now you can unsolder the pipes on a hotplate. The cooler is soldered with a low-melt alloy the melting temperature of which is about 100° C. This procedure must be carried out wearing gloves. Put the cooler's base on the hotplate and hold on to the pipes with your hands. After the solder has melted rock the heatpipes slightly and then quickly take them out. Wipe the solder remnants at once with a rag. Don’t overheat the pipes and don’t cool them with cold water right after desoldering!
 

That’s it! Now we have six splendid 6mm heat pipes at our disposal. And the price is rather moderate. With the help of these pipes you can cool the hot temper of any modern processor by homemade cooling system.
