Claim 29:
30. A liquid cooling system, comprising:
an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold; and
a cold plate comprising an enclosure defining a first external major surface, an opposed second external major surface, and a corresponding internal chamber positioned between the first external major surface and the second external major surface, wherein the internal chamber is fluidicly coupled with the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold, the cold plate further defining an external peripheral surface between the first external major surface and the opposed second external major surface; and
a U-shaped retainer having a first bar, a second bar, and an intermediate portion, each of the first bar and the second bar defining a corresponding major surface and the intermediate portion being configured to thermally couple with the external peripheral surface of the cold plate, defining a direct conductive heat-transfer path, with or without a thermal interface material, from the first bar, the second bar, or both, to the internal chamber of the cold plate.
