Abstract
A winged heat sink includes one or more arms that transport heat from a pedestal that is thermally coupled to an integrated circuit to convective fins. For example, the one or more arms may include one or more heat pipes. Moreover, the arms extend the vertical position of the winged heat sink away from a plane of the pedestal so that the convective fins extend downward back toward a circuit board on which the integrated circuit is mounted. These downward facing fins may match the topologies of components on the underlying circuit board.
