Hate to rain on the parade again here but I have mounted a SS to a air cooler actually same damned one.... Tuniq Tower and the heat pipes gave out after about 12 minutes of course I was just screwing around and maybe the fluid it was dipped in helped keep it from happening but just FYI.

I was kinda wondering about that, given that the heatpipes have liquid and wicking in them. When they freeze, they expand, and eventually pop goes the weasel. In that pic you can already see the base blowing apart.
