Even though it has a wide base, it's only about three cm tall so it is one of the thinnest heat sinks. In the selection of any thermal interface material, optimum performance is achieved utilizing the thinnest heatsink possible material suitable for a given combination of surface flatness tolerances, finish, and applied mounting pressure. The more heat sinks (things like oil drums full of water that collect heat during the day and distribute at night) the better. The thinnest heat sinks provide sufficient power to cool down all type of electronic devices. Since it is the thinnest heat sink to hand, some alteration to the heatsinks is called for. A thinner heat sink may have fitted. These techniques are useful when thinnest heat sinks are not available. The thinnest heatsinks conduct thermal energy away from a heat-generating component to the environment by convection, radiation, or further conduction. Our thinnest heat sinks usually have an extended surface area to improve heat dissipation to the environment. Aluminum extrusions are a common form of thin heat sink. These extrusions have a rigid base and extended surface area fins.
