In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises an integrated circuit module comprising two layers of thermal interface material, a printed circuit assembly disposed between the two layers of thermal interface material and comprising a plurality of integrated circuits disposed on both sides of a circuit board, wherein at least one of the integrated circuits is thermally coupled with one of the layers of thermal interface material, and two heat spreaders adapted to removably retain one another, and when retaining one another to enclose and become thermally coupled with the two layers of thermal interface material; and a printed circuit board having a connector disposed thereon, wherein a connector edge of the printed circuit assembly is disposed within the connector. In other embodiments, a frame is adapted to retain the two heat spreaders.
