Posted November 22, 2014 still weird, every d15 has same pipes crimped at the same spot, how does that work? Heat pipes are not solid pieces; they're filled with a fluid. So the crimped side is likely the side that was filled.

Posted November 22, 2014 Author They are solid copper unless it is advertised as a special "vapour-chamber" heatpipe design which has water inside. sorry I'll rephrase that... I though they war solid pieces as in not hollow... but they are actualy hollow inside (pipe I guess... my slow logic duh...), hollow filled with air unless otherwise advertised?

Posted November 22, 2014 still weird, every d15 has same pipes crimped at the same spot, how does that work? yeah, my hyper 212 is crimped like that. and its 10:30pm here in america on the east, and earlier in the night in the rest of it.

Copper heatpipes are solid copper, not hollow, only copper inside. Vapour chamber heatpipes are hollow pieces of copper filled with air and water. I dont know if the NH D15 uses vapour chamber or not, you will have to look that up.

Posted November 22, 2014 still weird, every d15 has same pipes crimped at the same spot, how does that work? they are ALWAYS empty pipes, not solid.

I dont know if the NH D15 uses vapour chamber or not, you will have to look that up. You are misinformed. Whoever told you that heatpipes are solid deserves a punch in the face. Also, Vapor chambers (and heatpipes) do not have air inside. Its contains part vacuum and part liquid. they are ALWAYS empty pipes, not solid.
