Being in Alaska, or anywhere not in the lower 48 is tough. I spend countless hours looking for products online at preferrably one source to lower my shipping costs. All of this time has taught me shipping through the United States Postal Services [USPS] is my best option. So the list is born...
I have a DFI nf4 Ultra-D, so no problem with heatpipe.
Yes poor implementations of heatpipe cooling are affected by positioning. Think early Thermalright heatpipe heatsinks vs newer ones.
I know there is a ~$80 price difference on average. Price aside, I'd still like to know different people's experiences with the P180 and V1000 Plus. If you had a plain V1000 speak up too.

Looks like if I don't use a heat...
The new prescott cpu is adhered to the die. Amd has not adhered it yet, they still use thermal grease. As for the glue around the edges of the IHS, I don't know and neither does anyone else so far.
I fail to see how replacing the IHS--which apparently uses standard thermal grease--with...
