A monitoring and alerting method for a liquid-cooling system includes monitoring a thermal resistance variation of a cold plate of the liquid-cooling system and sending an alert related to the thermal resistance variation. Furthermore, a liquid-cooling system and an electronic device including the same are provided. The liquid-cooling system includes a liquid-cooling module including a cold plate; and a monitoring and alerting module including a control unit, an inlet thermometer in communication with the control unit for measuring a temperature of a liquid inlet of the cold plate, and a heat source thermometer in communication with the control unit for measuring a temperature of a heat source in thermal contact with the cold plate. The control unit produces an alert according to a thermal resistance variation calculated by the inlet thermometer, the heat source thermometer, and a power of the heat source.

A heat pipe device includes an outer pipe and at least one first capillary structure. The outer pipe is a hollow pipe and has a defined lengthwise direction, and the first capillary structure is accommodated along the lengthwise direction and positioned in the outer pipe, and at least one steam channel is formed between the first capillary structure and the outer pipe. Even if the heat pipe device is upside down, the heat pipe still can resist gravity and work normally to achieve the effect of using the heat pipe without being limited by the using direction.
