Abstract
The invention is an apparatus for attaching a heat pipe to an integrated circuit or other surface. The heat pipe is held against the flat surface by a heat conducting clamp constructed as a 'U' cross section with flanges on the ends of the 'U' section, and both the heat pipe and the clamp are held onto the integrated circuit or other surface with heat conductive tape which has adhesive on both its faces. The heat pipe itself can be deformed so that its contact surface also is flat and yields better heat transfer with the integrated circuit.
