That was the *space* and it's enclosed ?

You don't have a hope in hell of dissipating 5W with a delta T of a few 10s
of degrees in that space.

You still haven't even mentioned if the 'thermal compound' has to provide
mechanical adhesion ( as in a glued-on heatsink ) or is simply required as
an interface filler where the mechanical aspect is provided by nuts and
bolts or clips..

If you simply *won't* provide any meaningful information *no-one* can help
you.

It's clear to anyone who knows about these things that the minimal info
required is in no way going to create trouble over NDAs or whatever.

You're being deliberately abstruse.

Please don't repeat the same lame question in s.e.d. You'll get a similar
respsonse.
