An apparatus includes a cabinet; an air-mover attached to the cabinet; a circuit board mounted in the cabinet; and an air-cooled heat sink attached in thermal contact with a heat-generating component on the circuit board. The heat sink includes a heat sink base; primary heat removal fins protruding from the heat sink base in a direction away from the circuit board; and secondary heat removal fins protruding from the heat sink base in a direction toward the circuit board. The air-mover is configured to force air between the primary heat removal fins and between the secondary heat removal fins.
