that is all.
swapping the heatpipes with water tubing would mean that the heat isnt carried onto the fins and would need its own motor to pump the water around the cooler to remove heat, and at the same time that wouldnt work either as it has no where to remove the heat from the water when the look gets hot which then equals to cooling solutions like the Corsair H50/80/100 & Antec 620/920 and other similar coolers from other vendors (that are all coincidently made by Asetek)
So.... no, no & no. it would never work because its already been done in the form of a closed watercooling loop/unit
It's seems the day f their trademark circular design CPU coolers being highly competitive are pretty much over.
I think theres another brand out there that uses the same design but the fins on the cooler are a lot more thicker. cant remember who it was made by though but the fins are blue...
:EDIT:
I found it....
It was the TT 'Max Orb' (they did make a version with blue fins)
similar design, but with a different mounting system
