A heat sink for a heat-generating component of an electronic device has a backbone panel with opposing upper and lower surfaces. Cooling elements extend away from the upper surface of the heat sink and terminate in upper ends that define a topological surface. Thermally conducting structures extend away from the lower surface of the heat sink and terminate in tips that define a surface that is complementary to the surface of the heat-generating component of the electronic device.
