Abstract:
Disclosed herein are approaches to reducing a guardband (margin) used for minimum voltage supply (Vcc) requirements for memory such as cache.
Abstract:
A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) cooling apparatus is described. The DIMM cooling assembly includes a first heat spreader to be thermally coupled to respective memory chips of a first side of the DIMM. The DIMM cooling assembly includes a second heat spreader to be thermally coupled to respective memory chips of a second side of the DIMM. The DIMM cooling assembly includes a heat sink element. The heat sink element is to reside above the DIMM. The heat sink element is to receive heat from the first and second heat spreaders. The heat sink element has thermal transfer structures to lower thermal resistance between the heat sink element and the heat sink element's ambient.
Abstract:
Provided are devices and methods relating to temperature control in a solid state drive (SSD). A SSD (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510,610, 710) including a housing (12, 112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712) including a plurality of sides surrounding an interior region. The SSD (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, 710) includes at least one vent (14, 114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614, 714) on the housing (12, 112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712), the at least one vent (14, 114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614, 714) configured to be opened and closed in response to a signal. The SSD (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510,610, 710) also includes a temperature sensor and a controller, the controller configured to send a signal to open the at least one vent (14, 114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614, 714) when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a first temperature, and the controller configured to close the at least one vent (14, 114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614, 714) when a temperature sensed inside the interior region reaches a second temperature, wherein the first temperature is greater than the second temperature.
