    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Two liquid cooling mechanisms are provided for cooling integrated circuit components immersed in an open bath immersion tank. In the first mechanism, heat generated by high-thermal design power (TDP) components is absorbed by a working fluid passing through cold plates coupled to the high-TDP components. The cold plates are part of direct liquid cooling loops attached to supply and return manifolds fluidly connected to a cooling distribution unit. In the second mechanism, integrated circuit components not coupled to any of the direct liquid cooling loops dissipate heat directly to the immersion fluid. In some embodiments, the tank is a closed bath immersion tank and heat captured by the working fluid is reclaimed and converted to electricity. Working fluid flow rate can be adjusted based on integrated circuit component power consumption levels to achieve a desired working fluid temperature as it enters an energy reclamation unit.
