The subject invention provides a heat sink for cooling electronic devices.
The heat sink includes an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated by
a baffle therebetween. The lower chamber includes a base having a central
axis and a plurality of curvilinear fins disposed radially about the
central axis of the base. The upper chamber includes a lid defining an
inlet and an inlet tube interconnecting the upper chamber and the lower
chamber for directing a fluid through the upper chamber and impinging the
fluid on the base in the lower chamber. A sidewall extends between the
base and the lid and is disposed about the fins. The sidewall includes a
peripheral inlet for directing the fluid perpendicular to the central
axis and at the fins.
