A thermal dissipation device for use with electronic assemblies or devices and that includes a heat conductive plate configured to thermally couple to one or more packaged components on a first side of the heat conductive plate. The thermal dissipation device further includes a heat conductive post coupled to a second side of the heat conductive plate. The heat conductive post includes a fin member rotatably coupled to the heat conductive post, which is configured to rotate about an axis of the heat conductive post to maximize both a flow of air across the fin member and thermal dissipation of heat from the heat conductive plate into the atmosphere.
