A conforming heat sink assembly including a heat dispersive element is mounted in spaced relationship to a surface from which heat is to be conducted. A thermal interface is provided for coupling the heat dispersive element to the surface from which heat is to be conducted. The thermal interface includes an elastomeric member which occupies only a portion of a volume defined by mounting the heat dispersive element proximate the surface from which heat is to be conducted. The unoccupied volume allows the elastomeric member to easily conform to the irregular surface from which heat is to be conducted to enhance thermal conductivity from the surface to the heat dispersive member.

A heat sink assembly comprising: a heat dispersing member; an elastomeric member disposed between said heat dispersing member and an irregular surface to be cooled having protrusions, which physically contacts said heat dispersing member and said irregular surface; at least one of said heat dispersing member and said elastomeric member defining a plurality of voids at a junction thereof, each of said voids disposed along the junction between said elastomeric member and said heat dispersing member and said voids spaced with respect to each other and are aligned with same protrusions, to enable said protrusions to displace said elastomeric member into said voids, to increase the amount of surface area of said elastomeric member that is in contact with said irregular surface and enhance thermal conductivity from said irregular surface to said heat dispersing member.
