    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are presented for managing an apparatus for thermal energy management including a first container. The first container includes a first cavity, and is configured to hold a first liquid coolant within the first cavity to at least partially surround a second container. The second container includes a second cavity configured to hold one or more heat sources, and a second liquid coolant to at least partially surround the one or more heat sources. The second container is sealed to separate the first liquid coolant from the second liquid coolant. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    摘要: A processor unit module comprises an integrated circuit component attached to a top side of a printed circuit board and one or more electronic components (e.g., voltage regulator FETs, inductors) attached to a bottom side of the board. The printed circuit board is located between a top stiffener plate and a bottom stiffener frame and the three components are secured together by fasteners that connect the top stiffener plate to the bottom stiffener frame. Flexible thermal straps connect the top stiffener plate to one or more slugs located between the printed circuit board and the bottom stiffener frame. The slugs touch the bottom side of the board and are held in place by the bottom stiffener frame. Heat generated by the bottom side components is transported by the slugs and the thermal straps to a thermal management solution (e.g., heat sink, cold plate) attached to the top side of the module.
