Nice design. Asetek say it's NOT a heatpipe. But when you look at the performance figures (pdf) you see that it's no different and no better than other heatsinks. Unfortunately there is only so much cooling you can get from passive designs. If you want a chilled CPU then you need phase-change or peltier+water.
My northwood P4 3ghz consumes between 80 and 110 watts. If I used the micro x2 heatsink from asetek then my CPU temp would be up to 60c on full load. That's really not very good at all. With water and peltier I've been down to -7c (below freezing).
