Abstract
An apparatus provides conductive cooling of an information handling system. The apparatus includes a panel having a vent area formed in the panel. The vent area includes a perimeter, an interior section and a plurality of ribs that extend across the interior section. The vent area further includes several openings defined by lateral spacing between the ribs. The openings extend through the panel and are configured to receive cooling airflow into the openings and to discharge cooling air flow from the openings. A conductive heat sink layer is attached to the panel. The conductive heat sink layer covers a perimeter area surrounding the vent area, with strips of the conductive heat sink layer also covering the ribs, while leaving the openings between the ribs uncovered such that the strips of the conductive heat sink layer function to conduct additional heat away from the vent area along the ribs.
