The heat-transfer pipe is pivotally coupled to the heat-generating component and the heat spreader. The heat-transfer pipe operable to transfer heat from the heat-generating component to the heat spreader. The heat-transfer pipe and the heat spreader are movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, a gap separates the heat spreader and the portion of the housing based on the heat-transfer pipe being at a first orientation. In the second configuration, the heat spreader closes the gap and is thermally coupled to the portion of the housing based on the heat-transfer pipe being at a second orientation.
