I wonder, if I saw off the heatpipe from my southbridge to northbridge and put a separate sink on the southbridge, would that cause any problems with the northbridge?
no, please be careful! there is liquid inside those heatpipes, can be different, alcohols,water, additives. its what gives a heatpipe its main cooling power. if you want to cut it off, please clamp it together at one point, so the coolant cant leak out. then put a piece of cloth or paper, something that can soak the liquid, under the heatpipe, and saw it off, behind the place you clamped it tight.
