I add a second heat pipe to my laptop cooling system and get shocking temperature reduction on my i7 4700mq. Please excuse my excitement but with over 30°C headroom, watch as I push this Haswell mobile CPU to 3.2Ghz all 4 cores speed and it doesn't even break a sweat. The first half of the video is the DIY build. The second half is the results and benchmarks.
