Passive cooling with a flexible PhasePlaneTM Heatpipe from ThermoTek
 

The PhasePlaneTM is a flexible heat pipe which has the potential to change the PC market drastically. We have been using heat pipes for several years to build quiet cooling solutions for PCs , which we showed at CeBit in Germany and in on television. For a moment, I will briefly explain what we are talking about in this article and what some of the possibilities are with the PhasePlaneTM heat pipe.
We first introduced these special heat pipes from ThermoTek on October 7, 2004 on our German page. Only five days later we already had a test system running, but the initial results weren’t what I expected.
Due my work on other reviews on the German page, this project moved a little bit into the background for two weeks. After some initial heat sink modifications that will be described below, we now have a 100% passively cooled and stable test system running an AMD 3700+, although the system is very simple and not yet optimized.
