Abstract
Embodiments include apparatus, methods, and systems providing a heatsink for electronic heat generating components. In one embodiment, the heatsink includes a metal base having a plurality of grooves, and a plurality of graphite fins connected to the base. The fins thermally dissipate heat from the base and into a surrounding environment. The fins are secured within the grooves with an interference fit produced by thermally expanding the base.
