Before I built my refrigerated cabinet this was one of the cooling ideas I was going to try, I took a cooler master and removed the top 2or3 fins, cut the tips of the copper tubing off and epoxied refrigeration fittings to the tubing, then the idea was to connect two of the tube pathways with hose and run the the remaining 2 to the water pump and radiator, but after building the cabinet I mothballed the Idea but here it is If anyone is interested.

Heatpipes usually have a wick and some sort of fluid inside them, and usually it is a very small opening inside which would probably hurt the flow rate on most pumps. Id be interested to know if it works anywhere decently though.
 
it is interesting, if used alongside maybe a single rad might be good, as long as there isnt too much of a kink in the bending of the tubing.

would be like a cpu waterblock with a little added cooling aswell

I think the idea was more to replace heatpipes with liquid running through them, but i may be wrong..
