Abstract
A heat sink with fins that extend between first and second conductive plates is cooperatively combined with one or more heat pipes which act to directly transfer heat to an otherwise relatively inefficiently used portion of the cooling fins.
Claims10
A heat sink comprising:
- a first thermally conductive plate;
- a second thermally conductive plate disposed substantially parallel to said first plate;
- an array of substantially parallel thermally conductive fins extending between said first and second plates, said fins being in direct thermal contact with said first and second plates;
- and
- at least one heat pipe thermally connecting said first and second plates.
