Thermal Interface Material in Two-Phase Cooling: How TIM Choice Affects Heat Pipe and Vapor Chamber Performance 

Why Cold Plates Struggle in High Heat Flux Electronic Systems

Active Cooling vs Passive Cooling

Heat Pipe Heat Sink Design

Different heat pipe heat sink design can have very different performance and cost implications. Here we compare 1) heat pipes embedded in either aluminum or copper, 2) heat pipes making direct contact with the heat source, and both standard and 3D vapor chambers.

Vapor Chamber vs Heat Pipe

In the battle of two-phase devices, vapor chamber vs heat pipe, there’s no clear winner. Each has attributes that make one superior to the other. This article covers differences in two-phase devices and usage rules of thumb.

Heat Sink Design Options

This article compares heat sink design options, including solid metal bases, embedded heat pipes, and vapor chambers. It provides engineers with insights into thermal performance, weight, and cost trade-offs to aid in selecting the optimal heat sink configuration for electronic applications.
