    Which cooling solution provides the best heat transfer for high TDP CPUs?

    ক)
    Small aluminum heatsink only
    খ)
    Tower heatsink with heatpipes
    গ)
    Open case, no fan
    ঘ)
    Thermal pad without heatsink

    Explanation

    Heatpipes quickly move heat from the CPU base to fin stacks with large surface area. Paired with a quality fan, they outperform small blocks. Liquid AIOs can go further but add complexity and pump noise. Proper paste, contact pressure, and airflow matter.
