According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of heat sinks and methods of making and operating heat sinks. In an exemplary embodiment, a heat sink generally includes at least one thermally conductive material and a fan configured to provide an air flow across the thermally conductive material with a non-uniform distribution such that one or more sections of the thermally conductive material have an increased air flow from the fan. The heat sink also includes at least one heat pipe disposed substantially within the thermally conductive material. The at least one heat pipe is angled towards the one or more sections of the thermally conductive material having the increased air flow from the fan.
A heat sink comprising:
A method of making a heat sink, the method comprising:
A method of cooling a heat sink having an angled heat pipe disposed within a thermal material, the method including rotating an impingement fan to direct increased air flow across one or more portions of the thermal material receiving the angled heat pipe, and less air flow across one or more other portions of the thermal material that do not receive the angled heat pipe.
