Patent ID: 8363411

Claim:
A system comprising: a thermally conductive chassis having at least one panel with a first opposing surface and a second opposing surface, and wherein the first opposing surface is external to the thermally conductive chassis and is exposed to an ambient environment, and wherein the second opposing surface is internal to the thermally conductive chassis; a circuit board located within the chassis, the circuit board having at least one integrated circuit chip; a thermal interface material disposed between the at least one integrated circuit chip and the thermally conductive chassis, wherein a first side of the thermal interface material is in thermally conductive contact with the at least one integrated circuit chip, and wherein the thermal interface material is a polymer solder hybrid; a thermally conductive heat transferring unit disposed between the thermal interface material and the thermally conductive chassis, and wherein a first side of the thermally conductive heat transferring unit is in thermally conductive contact with an opposing second side of the thermal interface material; a gap filler material located between the heat transferring unit and a top panel of the chassis, wherein the gap filler material is in adhesive contact with a second opposing surface of the top panel, wherein the gap filler material is different from the thermal interface material and wherein the filler material is in thermally conductive contact with the second side of the thermal interface material, and wherein the thermally conductive heat transferring unit is arranged to transfer heat from the at least one integrated circuit chip to the at least one panel of the chassis while minimizing radiant heat build-up proximate the at least one integrated circuit chip.
