A thermal module with a heat pipe configured with a first portion configured for contact with an edge of a plurality of fins in a fin stack, a second portion configured for contact with a side of one fin in the fin stack and a sharp angled bend is formed between the first portion and the second portion to fluidly isolate the first portion from the second portion. The first portion comprises a usable length of the heat pipe that efficiently transfers heat based on phase transitioning by the fluid. The second portion is formed from at least some of the unusable length of the heat pipe. By configuring the heat pipe such that more fins contact the usable length of the heat pipe, heat transfer from the heat pipe to the fin stack is increased.
