It might? The only thing is that Heat pipes still transfer heat faster than copper and the air from the fan moves the heat faster than it travels through the copper, the only question is is that enough faster to make up for the speed it takes to transfer the heat from the fins into the air that is all technically radiative and thus slow but it’s only hundreds of times slower and as I already said the heat sink would be orders of magnitude faster so I doubt it.

Oh I don’t doubt that it would suck at it. It would just hold a lot of the heat within itself, eventually, lol.
