I was wondering if its possible to make an HDT true?
I mean, by removing the copper baseplate, adding spacers, and sanding down the heatpipes?

If not, thermalright SHOULD think of this- I don't even think direct heat pipes are copyrighted, considering all the clones these days.

... do you mean lapping it? I am confused

 

[Nenkitsune]

he means take the true apart so instead of having it's normal base plate it just has the copper tubes.

It wouldnt work because the pipes are circular and not flat at the base like for the HDT coolers.

BUT

if you lap it enough, say until there's 1mm of copper, that would perform pretty much like HDT while spreading the heat better to the pipes at the extremities.
