    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of improving the thermal performance of processor-based devices. Such thermal performance improvement may include limiting the degree of tilt experienced by a semiconductor device as a thermal solution coupled to the semiconductor device is tightened to the substrate. Such thermal performance improvements may include increasing the available heat transfer area associated with a particular heat producing semiconductor device. Such thermal performance improvements may include thermally coupling one or more cool blocks thermally coupled to one or more remote heat-producing devices to a central cool block that may be cooled using a cooling medium or coupled to a central heat-producing semiconductor device.

    Abstract: Provided are devices and methods relating to temperature control in a solid state drive (SSD). One embodiment include a SSD including a housing including a plurality of sides surrounding an interior region. The SSD includes at least one vent on the housing, the at least one vent configured to be opened and closed in response to a signal. The SSD also includes a temperature sensor and a controller, the controller configured to send a signal to open the at least one vent when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a first temperature, and the controller configured to close the at least one vent when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a second temperature, wherein the first temperature is greater than the second temperature. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for using a sonic frequency to induce a vibration useful for clearing dust accumulation from microelectronics, such as a laptop computer. A speaker driver may be mounted onto a support structure for a heat exchanger (220). At an advantageous time, such as boot up, a sonic frequency may be driven onto the speaker (250), thus inducing vibration in the heat exchanger (220) and helping to clear dust accumulation. In some cases, a resonant frequency may be used to optimize the amount of vibration per unit power delivery.
