Heat pipes contain liquids that vaporize when heated. The vapor moves up the pipe and is cooled by the external heatsink. This transfer of heat cools the vapor and returns it to liquid form.

Cooling a group of six IGBTs that generate 6 kW with a heat pipe/heat-sink hybrid assembly does a better job than an extruded aluminum heat sink by itself.

That is to say, if you have a dinky little heat sink, it doesn't matter if you're using a heat pipe, water cooling, or phase change, it's not going to be enough to keep the part cool.

ElecGear's adjustable SSD cooler looks like a mini jet engine but is supposedly capable of reducing temps by up to 25C.

Thermaltake unveils its new MS-1 M.2 SSD cooler, with a high-speed 8000RPM micro blower fan design, which will keep your Gen5 SSD nice and cool.

The heat-pipe heat sink uses standard 0.75-in.-diameter heat pipes embedded in an aluminum plate under the power semiconductors. The pipes extend from the plate to a remote fin stack.

"Thus we hope you learn from our waste of money that while this computer H20 heatsink pipe is more flexible and comes with the companies name printed on it as far as we are concerned is only fit for ...

Compared with the traditional finned heatsink, the use of a heat pipe configuration in Fig. 3 reduces footprint area of the power heat sink and improves heat dissipation capability.

The hot vapor rushes to the cool side of the pipe (carrying heat) where you have a large heatsink that may have a fan or active cooling system.

A massive copper heat sink makes up a big portion of the PlayStation 5's case real estate, along with a massive 120mm fan.
