Abstract
A plate is thermally coupled to a heat generating device and thermally coupled to two heat pipes. Each heat pipe is configured to have a predetermined boiling point temperature selected according to design criteria. One or more additional heat pipes can be coupled to the plate. A heat spreader can be in thermal contact with the heat generating device and with at least one of the heat pipes. The heat pipes can differ in outer cross-sectional dimensions depending on thermal distance position relative to the heat generating device, such that the heat pipes located a farther thermal distance from the heat generating device have smaller outer cross-sectional dimensions than the heat pipes located a shorter thermal distance from the heat generating device.
