Sci.Am. long time ago discussed these w/ the comment, carrying a bucket of hot water was much faster than any conduction.

Reviewing heat transfer, conduction, convection, and radiation come immediately to mind,
then recalling the topic of current interest, heat pipes, one adds displacement.

As convection depends on buoyancy effects fan aided convection, which amounts to fluid displacement, is faster.
Heat pipes use gas phase transport. Radiation runs at the speed of c.
