Abstract: A cooling system for memory modules for example dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) supporting dual random access memory (DRAM) chips (Fig. 2; 24) on either side of a circuit board (Fig. 2; 22) comprises a heat conduction assembly 10 for each memory module 20 which allows conduction of heat in a direction parallel to a system board 12, from the memory modules to a pair of liquid-cooled mounting blocks 40, 140 located at opposing ends of parallel slot shaped sockets 30 for receiving the modules. Each heat conduction assembly includes a frame having opposing first and second supports 61, 62, first and second heat spreader plates 64, 65 each extending from the first support 61 to the second support 62, and a pair of fluid-filled flattened heat pipes 66 each extending along a respective one of the heat spreader plates. The liquid-cooled mounting blocks 40, 140 releasably support the heat conduction assemblies over the memory module sockets 30 with the memory module between the heat spreader plates so that the memory chips are in thermal engagement with the heat spreader plates 64, 65.

Abstract: A cooling system for a memory module comprises a heat conduction assembly for conducting heat from the memory module to liquid-cooled mounting blocks. In one embodiment, each heat conduction assembly includes a frame having opposing first and second supports, first and second heat spreader plates each extending from the first support to the second support, and a pair of flattened heat pipes each extending along a respective one of the heat spreader plates from the first support to the second support. The liquid-cooled mounting blocks releasably support the heat conduction assembly over a memory module socket with the memory module between the heat spreader plates.

Abstract: A liquid cooled planer 200 such as a printed circuit board including one or more computing components such as computer memory or processors mounted on the planer 200, wherein at least one or more of the computing components are liquid cooled. One or more conductive cooling components 302 are mounted on the planer 200 and one or more convective cooling components 502 are mounted on the planer 200. The conductive cooling components 302 may be a cold plate that transfers heat to a heat sink. The convective cooling components 502 which may be fluid or liquid carrying pipes, tubes or ducts are removable from the planer 200 without removing the conductive cooling components from the planer 200 for example a water carry pipe may be attached to the cold plate through the use of braces, brackets or other physical elements so that detaching the water carry pipe from the cold plate only involves disengaging the pipe from these attachment elements.
