    Can you buy premade heat piping? I have searched online but found now retailers or manufacturers of the stuff yet it appears very common in HSF designs....

    I haven't seen any place that lets you buy premade heat pipes. Probably, because most are in a specific shape, and size. You could try buying a cooling system, and taking the pipe out of there.

    I really doubt you can. Heatpipes pretty much have to be custom-made for specific coolers.
