Tha is a lot of coolers that are re-branded of that same cooler, all the ones without an heat pipe claim to have 95-105w of cooling power.

The zalman coolers as 1 heat pipe and claims to have 130w of cooling power.

Cant this be trusted? a 130w cooler could easily handle an overclocked(small) i5(4core) for gaming.
However at the cost i feet a should be calling bull...... on it cooling power claims.

any input?
 
A heatpipe in that design will make an immense difference considering the original is just some aluminium sheet squashed together. That said, I wouldn't trust a claim of 95-100W for a minute, old design or new. Those little clam-looking coolers are generally only good for low power series CPUs (S and T chips) IMO. I'd be nervous putting a 65W i5 under one.
