Again, Test 3 does not show a temp or clock difference. This reconfirms the previous good news.And I reiterate that an end user does not really know what type of heat pipes is used in a display card or in an CPU cooler until/unless he cuts it up, which is, of course, not feasible. So, how to tell without cutting it up? The ID Cooling IS40 shows that quality and price do not necessarily directly correlate. IS40 is a budget cooler in terms of price, for sure. But, ID Cooling does not appear to skim on the quality of heat pipes.Maybe one is so used to equating price of a cooler (eg Noctua's) with quality and so when one comes across a lower priced cooler (eg ID Cooling brand), we tend to think of it as sub-quality? Perhaps, it is just that ID Cooling has lower profit margin than Noctua's and is selling their coolers at a lower price point? /offtopic
