1. A system, comprising:
- multiple micro heat pipes (MHPs) each having a first end and a second end, a central flexible section having wicking internal surface carrying a liquid, the first end placed in contact with a die to transfer heat generated by the die to a heat exchanger using the liquid; and
a thermal attach block coupled to the die, wherein the first end of each of the multiple MHPs is attached to the thermal attach block to enable the first end to be placed in contact with the die.

Abstract
A system including a plurality of micro heat pipes is used to transfer heat from a die. A die attach block is coupled with the die. The plurality of micro heat pipes (MHPs) are attached to the die attach block to enable the MHPs to be in close contact with the die to absorb heat generated by the die.
