Compared with traditional heat pipes, loop heat pipes give significantly better performance and as they dont require a wick of any type, allow for features such as flexible pipes, greatly improving how versatile they are.
When compared to water cooling, they have the advantages of not requiring a pump, being more robust (very little chance of a leak) and working liquid is inert and non-conductive so no damage would occur to any components.
Its important to consider that whilst we are demonstrating their use in a fanless case, they can be combined with fans to give better-than-water-cooling performance.
