I remembered to post to social accounts. Here's a failed heat pipe. No kinks or bends, just isn't conducting heat. Must've leaked and gone dry inside 🤔

A thermal image of a heat pipe cooling a laptop CPU. The pipe is hot on top of the CPU, but cold along its length.

I entirely forgot to post anything here. So here's an Asus Zephyrus with Liquid Metal leaking all over the CPU 👌 There's a line of silicone sealant to keep it contained, but I suspect heat and expansion allowed the LM to blow through it. Took some cleaning, but the laptop survived!
