Abstract
An apparatus for removing heat from a heat generating device. The apparatus includes at least one heat conductive finned thermal device insert including a base having at least one first fin, and preferably haing a plurality of first fins, on a first surface and a second surface which is flat and a heat conductive second thermal device, preferably a cooling hat, having a plurality of second fins. The first fins are interspersed with the second fins. At least one of the first and second fins is of a thermally conductive, flexible material so that a gap otherwise existing between the interspersed fins is substantially eliminated. Finally, at least a portion of the first and second fins are biased against one another.
