Hello all,

I impulsively cut the tops off of the copper heat pipes that extend just beyond the top of the rest of the cooler on the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. Temps are now poor as the heatpipes are no longer pressurized.

Is there anything that I can do to salvage this cooler? Can I fill the pipes with water and seal it? Any ideas?

Thanks

Take your damaged/disabled heatsinks to some scrap yard - they'll pay you money for all that aluminum and copper. You can recoup on some of your (monetary) losses.

EDIT: For cases with shorter clearances, I recommend the Thermalright True Spirit 120M.

I bet his case didn't have the clearance for the heatsink. So he cut it. Ouch!
