Burned out a heat-pipe?  I had no idea that was a common problem.  Did 
the pipe just burst, or did it spring a leak?  Do you know if this is a 
problem with a lot of designs?

I ask, because a lot of the high-end CPU coolers today employ a 
heat-pipe design, and I've never heard of one failing.

Thanks
