Abstract
A heat sink and component support assembly that includes a core structure (110). The core structure (110) includes: a central member (112) having first (114, 116) and second opposing sides; at least one heat dissipating surface (124, 126, 128) extending from at least one of the first opposing sides (114, 116); and first and second extension members (118, 120) positioned adjacent to each of the second opposing sides. The assembly may also include an airflow facilitating arrangement, such as a fan (184), positioned adjacent to the core structure (110) for further enhanced heat dissipating capabilities.
