ABSTRACT:
A cooling system for a computer is provided. In one implementation, the cooling system includes a heat spreader that is in thermal contact with a heat generating component in the computer, a frame casting, and a heat pipe to passively dissipate heat generated from the heat generating component in the computer to the frame casting. The heat pipe includes a first portion that is co-planar with and in direct contact with the heat generating component, and a second portion that is in thermal contact with the frame casting.
