Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
providing a heat exchanger for removing heat from a selected processor or a selected processor package selected from a plurality of different types of processors or different processor packages, wherein the heat exchanger comprises:
a surface configured to be positioned proximate to a surface of a package of the processor such that waste heat from the processor is conducted to the heat exchanger;
a heat transfer portion configured to transfer at least a portion of the heat conducted to the heat exchanger from the processor to a cooling fluid in fluid communication with the heat exchanger; and
mounting flanges extending out from respective sides of the heat exchanger,
wherein the mounting flanges are configured to engage with a mounting structure for coupling the heat exchanger to the selected processor or the selected processor package;

selecting the mounting structure for the heat exchanger from different mounting structures with which the mounting flanges of the heat exchanger are configured to engage, wherein:
respective ones of the different mounting structures have different lengths, widths, or bolt patterns;
the different types of processors or the different processor packages require different complementary mounting structures having the different lengths, widths, or bolt patterns to mount the heat exchanger to the different types of processors or the different processor packages, via a set of fasteners, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to be mounted on any of the different types of processors or the different processor packages via the different mounting structures with which the mounting flanges of the heat exchanger are configured to engage; and
the mounting flanges of the heat exchanger comprise open corners and center openings configured to accommodate passage of respective fasteners of the set of fasteners laid out according to the different lengths, widths, or bolt patterns of the selected mounting structure; and

coupling the heat exchanger with the selected processor or the selected processor package via the selected mounting structure that complements mounting hardware of the selected processor or the selected processor package.
