Heat sink, assembly, and method of making

摘要

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.
