A heat sink assembly for cooling a heat generating integrated circuit (IC) component is provided. The assembly includes a heat sink base positioned adjacent the IC component and a thermal interface member positioned between the heat sink base and the IC component. The interface member has a first surface in abutting engagement with the heat sink base and an opposite second surface in abutting engagement with an outer surface of a lid on the IC component. The first and second surfaces each include a plurality of protrusions to increase a number of contact points between the interface member and the heat sink base and between the interface member and the outer surface of the lid to facilitate a transfer of heat from the IC component to the heat sink base.
