I never said it was a risk or concern or anything else in that direction. I was just pointing it out because I thought it was interesting. There was a time I didn't realize there was coolant in these heat pipes that could escape. Until encountering one where it had dissipated and, after some consternation and googling, realizing what must have happened to cause such terrible thermal cooling performance. Even if it does happen, heat pipes are among the cheapest components to replace (also the easiest).

Does everybody just want to argue over nothing now?

Maybe I'll rephrase.

Is the CPU pins rusting a bigger concern, compared to if the heap pipe busts ? Thats not an argument, it is a question.
