Is it worth it? I have a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 cooler, and the heatpipes make direct contact with the CPU.
On the AS5 website, it says that for heatsinks with exposed heatpipes, I should "Start with some thermal compound at the edge of each heat-pipe and work it into spaces between the heat-pipe and metal that surrounds it."
To me that just sounds like tinting... Is it worth doing it, in particular for a heatsink with the pipes exposed?
