    摘要: An apparatus and method are described for cooling electronic components on a plug-in or other computer board placed within an enclosure. The inventive apparatus and system is capable of cooling a high power dissipating device, such as a Graphics Processing Unit and cooling individual ones of a plurality of other devices, such as memory chips, to within a specified temperature range. In one embodiment, cooling air is drawn from the edge of a plug-in card, over the GPU and is directed along and over arrays of memory chips. By directing the flow on and along the memory chips, a flow is established that maintains the chip-to-chip temperature difference to within a desired, uniform range. The invention allows for the incorporation of higher performance processors onto boards while maintaining memory chips within a temperature range that allows for predictable performance.
