Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a liquid conduit extending along at least one end of first and second adjacent DIMMs, the liquid conduit adapted for circulating a cooling liquid; a thermally conductive base extending along a gap between the first DIMM and the adjacent second DIMM, the base being coupled to a motherboard having an end in thermal communication with the liquid conduit; a first thermally conductive element extending from the base outward from the motherboard and providing thermal conduction from a surface of the first DIMM to the base; and a second thermally conductive element extending from the base outward from the motherboard and providing thermal conduction from a surface of the second DIMM to the base, wherein the first and second thermally conductive elements provide an adjustable span to accommodate variations in distance between the surface of the first DIMM and the surface of the second DIMM.
