Abstract

A heat sink assembly includes a block formed of a thermally conductive material. For example, the thermally conductive material includes thermally conductive polymer. A heat conduit (e.g., a heat pipe) extends through a substantial portion of the block. In one example arrangement, airflow channels extend through portions of the block.
