Abstract: A heat sink and a heat sink assembly that includes the heat sink and a source of flowing air, such as a fan. The heat sink includes a base from which a first plurality of convective surfaces extends. At least one heat pipe is in thermal contact with the base and extends therefrom. The heat pipe includes an evaporator portion in thermal contact with the base and a condenser portion. A second plurality of convective surfaces is in thermal communication with the condenser portion of the heat pipe.

Abstract: A heat sink, method of making a heat sink, and a heat sink assembly. The heat sink includes a base and a plurality of heat pipes that extend from the base. The base is dimensioned and shaped to promote good thermal contact with the heat source, and the heat pipes are attached thereto in such a manner as to promote good thermal contact to the working fluid. Each heat pipe includes an outer surface and an inner surface that form a condenser portion from which from heat is transferred during condensation of the working fluid.
