摘要： An apparatus for cooling a memory module installed in a computer system includes a liquid coolant conduit that is connected to a conduit support structure having a form factor selectively securable within a first preconfigured memory module socket of the computer system in order to position the liquid coolant conduit above the first socket. A heat pipe provides direct thermal contact between the liquid conduit and a heat spreader assembly in direct thermal contact with a face of the memory module. The apparatus may include a second heat pipe and second heat spreader assembly for similarly cooling a second memory module. In alternative configurations, the apparatus may cool memory modules on opposing sides of the conduit or memory modules that are both on the same side of the conduit.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention include a cooling system and method for cooling a computer rack by circulating liquid coolant through different sections of a rack heat exchanger under separately controlled flow and temperature conditions. In a method according to one embodiment, a first liquid coolant is supplied to a first section of an air-to-liquid heat exchanger. A second liquid coolant is supplied to a second section of the air-to-liquid heat exchanger at a different temperature than the first liquid coolant. Airflow is generated through rack-mounted computer components to the first and second sections of the air-to-liquid heat exchanger. The flow rates of the first and second liquid coolants are independently controlled to enforce a target cooling parameter. The independent operation of the first and second fin tube sections allows for the increased use of un-chilled water without sacrificing heat removal objectives.

摘要： A cold plate comprises a cold plate body having a base for thermally engaging a heat-generating device, a plurality of internal channels extending through the cold plate body for the passage of a liquid coolant, a first region between the base and the plurality of internal channels, and a second region between the plurality of internal channels and a top that is generally opposite the base from the plurality of internal channels. The cold plate body is made from a first thermally conductive material. The cold plate also comprises at least one thermally conductive member extending around the plurality of channels from the first region below the plurality of channels to the second region above the plurality of channels. The at least one thermally conductive member has a greater thermal conductivity than the first thermally conductive material to move heat from the first region to the second region.
