System Specs

As much as I like the performance of these direct touch heatpipe coolers, the heatpipes take up too much room on the base and the ones on the sides won't even touch the IHS of the CPU. Either make one big solid heatpipe (like the vapor chamber) or squish the heatpipes closer together so there are no gaps. The only other option would be some kind of hybrid approach (like the Xigmatek Thor's Hammer) where some heatpipes are direct touch while others are set inside the middle of the base like normal.
