Patent ID: 7344919

Claim:
A method of cooling a multi-chip module (MCM) of a computer system, comprising the steps of: providing a thermo-conducting gel package formed a self-conforming insulator structure shaped like a cushion of two separate insulating layers filled with a non-compressible thermo-conducting gel paste insulating material and causing said gel package to conform to all irregularities and to apply equal contact pressure to a printed circuit board surface after assembly of said thermo-conducting gel package between a mechanical stiffiner and said printed circuit board by compressing said thermo-conducting gel package between said mechanical stiffiner and said printed circuit board (PCB) system board, and conductively transporting heat generated within the MCM to said mechanical stiffiner via said thermo-conducting gel package compressed between said mechanical stiffener and said PCB system board of said MCM promoting better thermo properties of the computer system.
