Claim:
A heat sink with heat pipes comprising: a base comprising a bottom surface for contacting a heat-generating component, an upper surface opposite to the bottom surface, a plurality of grooves defined on the upper surface of the base; and two heat pipes received in the grooves, each pipe comprising an evaporating section and a condensing section; wherein the evaporating sections of the heat pipes are closely arranged on a portion of the base which is directed for contacting with the heat-generating component, and wherein the condensing sections of the heat pipes spread out from said portion of the base by extending in the grooves to other parts of the base in order to uniformly distribute heat on the whole base; wherein the evaporating sections of the heat pipes are parallel to each other and abut against each other; and wherein the heat pipes are juxtaposed to each other; wherein the heat pipes are U-shaped; and wherein the evaporating section of one of the heat pipes is disposed between the evaporating section and the condensing section of the other heat pipe.
