1. A heat exchanger comprising a base adapted to be conductively contacting a load, and a plurality of deformable fins connected to a surface of the base with the plurality of deformable fins adapted to be exposed to a coolant flow over the surface, the deformable fins distributed on the surface of the base to be exposed to a coolant flowing over the surface of the base through conductive contact with the load, wherein the deformable fins include a first type deformable fin, the first type deformable fin having a body connected at at least two ends to the surface, with the body buckling relative to the base.
