    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of improving the thermal performance of processor-based devices. Such thermal performance improvement may include limiting the degree of tilt experienced by a semiconductor device as a thermal solution coupled to the semiconductor device is tightened to the substrate. Such thermal performance improvements may include increasing the available heat transfer area associated with a particular heat producing semiconductor device. Such thermal performance improvements may include thermally coupling one or more cool blocks thermally coupled to one or more remote heat-producing devices to a central cool block that may be cooled using a cooling medium or coupled to a central heat-producing semiconductor device.

    摘要: Techniques for reconfigurable heat sinks are disclosed. In one embodiment, a compute system includes a heat sink includes a core fin assembly with two removable lateral fin assemblies. The lateral fin assemblies may be above one or more components of the compute system, such as one or more memory modules. With the lateral fin assemblies in place, the cooling capacity of the heat sink is increased, but the more memory modules may be difficult or impossible to service. With the lateral fin assemblies removed, the memory modules can be serviced (e.g., replaced). In another embodiment, a lateral fin assembly of a heat sink is attached to a heat pipe. The lateral fin assembly can rotate relative to the heat pipe, allowing the lateral fin assembly to fit within a 2U form factor in one configuration and allow access to components under the lateral fin assembly in another configuration.
