Hello all
I have a practical question regarding heat transfer within my laptop. My laptop uses a shared-heatpipe design, meaning that my CPU and GPU are connected by a common piece of copper, and then each chip goes off to its own heatsink/fan.
While playing games, I was monitoring the temperatures of both chips, and the CPU was reaching much higher temperatures than the GPU (~20 degrees C). If they are connected with a common piece of heat transferring material, shouldn't both chips equalize in temperatures?
