Abstract:
1. A memory module assembly, comprising: a plurality of memory modules each equipped with a substrate and memory elements disposed on both of main surfaces of the substrate, wherein said memory modules are arranged in parallel so that said memory modules be installed on a mother board by mounting peripheral sides of said substrates to corresponding connectors provided on the mother board; plural pairs of heat radiation plates provided correspondingly to said plurality of memory modules so that each memory module is put between the corresponding pair of the heat radiation plates and said memory elements are thermally coupled to the corresponding heat radiation plate, respectively, wherein said plural pairs are arranged spacedly from each other so that the heat radiates from the faces of the heat radiation plates to the air between the neighboring memory modules; a connecting member disposal at, and thermally coupled to, said heat radiation plates at the peripheral side opposite to said peripheral side to be inserted to the corresponding connector so that the heat generated at the memory elements is conducted from the heat radiation plates, with which the memory elements are thermally coupled, to the other heat radiation plates via said connecting member; and fixing means arranged to fix the corresponding pair of heat radiation plates by being inserted there through so that said radiation plates closely adhere to the corresponding memory elements.
