00:00Heat spreads through surface area and phase change
00:02Plain round tube holds fluid, fin or wick move heat fast
00:06Tested top copper hardware for DIY thermal mods and picked best deals online
00:12First, standard large copper round pipe, base price $85
00:17Mass OD choices from 20 to 90 mm
00:21Pure raw thermal mass
00:23Perfect for manifold builds or direct liquid jackets
00:27Cheap base material, unbeatable volume price
00:31Second, sintered heat pipe with internal wick for laptop GPU cooling, 483
00:37Phase change fluid inside beats solid copper conduction 10 to 1
00:40Comes flat 8 by 3 mm or round 6 mm up to 400 mm long
00:47Absolute best pick for tight electronics cooling where standard round tubes fail
00:52Third, thick wall hollow straight copper tubing at 563
00:56Wall thickness ranges 0.5 to 2 mm, outer diameter 3 to 30 mm
01:03Stiff structure prevents collapse under high pump pressure
01:06Pick this for custom liquid cooling blocks needing rigid structural support
01:12Fourth, budget variant heat pipe running 368
01:15Same 8 by 3 flat or 6 mm round format, 100 to 400 mm lengths
01:21Flatted profile solders flat against silicon dies without air gaps
01:25Best value per unit to fix overheating laptop VRMs or mini PCs on dime
01:32Fifth, soft T2 copper coil roll at 1039
01:36Bends by hand without kinking, outer diameters 2 to 12 mm
01:41Endless run length beats rigid straight pipe for custom wrapped heat exchangers, refrigeration loops,
01:46Or wrapping around hot motor housings
