Abstract

A cooling apparatus is disclosed for cooling an electronic device, the apparatus including a conductive mounting bracket to couple with an electronic device housing and a heat sink integrated with the conductive mounting bracket. The cooling apparatus further includes a heat pipe coupled with the conductive mounting bracket on a first side of the heat pipe, the heat pipe to be directly coupled with a targeted electronic component within the electronic device, on a second side of the heat pipe. The apparatus may further include a conductive mounting interface attached to the electronic device housing to attach to the conductive mounting bracket. A mounting receptacle deployed within the conductive mounting interface may be used to expose the targeted electronic component.
