I thought heatpipe failure was extremely uncommon, but perhaps I was mistaken.

I wasn't aware that you had a cooling issue on your laptop; perhaps you raised it after I went to bed on Tuesday? Anyway, years ago I ran a project to develop a military test set based on a rugged laptop. We replaced the heat pipes in that with longer ones and one of the suppliers explained how they work. Apparently it is not uncommon for the pipe to leak allowing the partial vacuum to fill and the vaporisation process to stop.

[Dorset] Laptop cooling
In case anyone's interested, replacing the heatpipe for my laptop did fix the issue, it runs much cooler and can now continually boost even when under full load for several minutes, rather than thermal throttling.
