    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may include apparatuses, systems and/or processes to provide cooling to a heat source. In embodiments, a first set of cooling fins are thermally coupled to a heat source in a first orientation to allow first airflow to pass through in between the first set of cooling fins to dissipate heat from the heat source. A second set of cooling fins thermally coupled to the heat source in a second orientation to allow second airflow to pass through in between the second set of cooling fins to dissipate heat from the heat source. A barrier may be coupled to the second set of cooling fins to substantially divert the second airflow away from the first airflow about to pass through in between the first set of cooling fins so that pre-heated air does not flow over the first set of cooling fins.

    Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a conductive layer extending from the printed circuit board to act as a heat sink for circuit components electrically and mechanically attached to the PCB. The conductive layer can be a copper ground layer of a multi-layered PCB. The PCB can include one or more circuit components, such as dynamic random access memory elements. In embodiments, the PCB is part of a dual inline memory module. The conductive layer can be fashioned such that it extends out from the PCB and returns over the circuit elements to define an air gap between the conductive layer and the surface of the PCB and/or the surface of the circuit elements. In embodiments, a connection adaptor can be used to accommodate various PCB thicknesses so that the PCB can be electrically connected to an edge connector.
