Claim 9:
10. A two-part, separable, heat sink system comprising:
a first heat sink having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface opposite the second surface, the second surface of the first heat sink thermally couplable to a thermally emissive device coupled to a substrate;
a second heat sink having a third surface and a fourth surface, the third surface opposite the fourth surface;
a thermal interface member to thermally couple the first heat sink to the second heat sink, the thermal interface member to be disposed between the first surface and the fourth surface, the thermal interface member to be on an opposite side of the first heat sink as the substrate; and
at least one attachment feature, the at least one attachment feature to detachably physically couple the thermal interface member between the first heat sink and the second heat sink, wherein the at least one attachment feature includes:
a clamp member having a central member, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end;
a first coupling fixture to be disposed proximate the first end of the clamp member, the first coupling fixture to phisically couple to a first location on the first heat sink; and
a second coupling fixture to be disposed proximate the second end of the clamp member, the second coupling fixture to physically couple to a second location on the first heat sink;
wherein the central member is to extend transversely across at least a portion of the second heat sink.
