Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that prevent heat pipe dryout. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute machine readable instructions to: determine if a temperature of a heat pipe of an electronic device is below a first threshold temperature; cause a program to switch from a first operating mode to a second operating mode when the temperature is below the first threshold temperature, the second operating mode to use more processor circuitry bandwidth than the first operating mode; determine at least one of (1) an occurrence of an increase in a power level of the electronic device or (2) the temperature of the heat pipe satisfies a second threshold temperature; and cause the program to switch from the second operating mode to the first operating mode based on at least one of (1) the occurrence of the increase in the power level or (2) the temperature of the heat pipe satisfying the second threshold temperature.
