A method and incorporated heat sink that is cooled both thorough air flow
and liquid circulation is provided. The heat sink is disposed close to
electronic components and used for their cooling. It comprises a finned
structure positioned such that air can easily pass though it; a heat
source plate disposed thermally in direction of heat flow to one side of
the finned structure such that the heat source plate is in thermal
communication with the finned structure fin base and fin tips, and a
second plate also disposed at an opposing end of the finned structure in
thermal communication both with finned structure fin base and fin tips.
The heat sink also includes fluid re-circulator disposed at least
partially in the plates for circulating fluids though the plates and
around said finned structure such that both fin tips and fin base is
cooled.
