A heat sink to be used with a heat source can include a base portion and a
fin portion. The base portion can include a plurality of heat pipes and a
space formed at least partially between adjacent heat pipes. The base
portion can also include a first plate thermally connected to the heat
source and a second plate thermally connected to the fin portion. The
plurality of heat pipes contacts the first plate and the second plate.
The plurality of heat pipes can also include a first portion that is
closer than a second portion to the heat source. Additionally, a distance
between adjacent heat pipes is smaller at the first portion than at the
second portion.
