In some embodiments, a method includes providing a circuit board having a plurality of holes formed therethrough and mounting a spring to an underside of the circuit board such that the mounted spring has a plurality of holes each of which is aligned with a respective one of the holes in the circuit board. Bosses of the spring are each sandwiched between a respective standoff on a chassis and a respective standoff on a heat sink. Holes in the circuit board at the locus of the standoffs are sized so that the circuit board is not sandwiched between the standoffs. The spring presses the circuit board upwardly to bring an integrated circuit in contact with the heat sink.

Thermal management systems for semiconductor devices are provided. Embodiments of the invention provide two or more liquid cooling subsystems that are each capable of providing active cooling to one or more semiconductor devices, such as packaged processors. In operation, a first liquid cooling subsystem can provide active cooling to the semiconductor device(s) while the second cooling subsystem is circulating a heat transfer fluid within its own subsystem. The second liquid cooling subsystem can be then switched into operation and provides active cooling to the semiconductor device(s) while the first cooling subsystem is circulating heat transfer fluid within its own subsystem. In alternate embodiments, the heat transfer fluid remains in the subsystem, but does not circulate within the subsystem when the subsystem is not providing cooling to the semiconductor device(s). The subsystems comprise heat dissipation units. The switching between cooling systems allows the semiconductor device(s) to be maintained at a lower operating temperature than if switching between cooling subsystems were not employed.

Methods and apparatus for localized temperature control and leakage protection in a server housing are disclosed. An example system includes interface circuitry, machine readable instructions, and at least one programmable circuit of a server disposable inside a portion of a server housing. The at least one programmable circuit are to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to identify a temperature of the server, determine a target temperature for a workload for the server, and control an actuator based on the temperature and the target temperature, the actuator to control a local flow rate of a coolant in the portion of the server housing.
摘要:
Techniques for liquid cooling systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a hermetically sealed container includes an integrated circuit component and a two-phase coolant. As the integrated circuit component generates heat, the coolant boils, rising to a lid of the container. A cold plate mated with the lid absorbs heat from the lid, causing condensation of the coolant on the underside of the lid. The coolant then drips back down towards the integrated circuit component. Other embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
Methods and systems may provide for identifying a thermal management setting in a computing system, and comparing the thermal management setting to valid configuration information. In addition, the thermal management setting may be modified if it does not comply with the valid configuration information, wherein the modification can cause the thermal management setting to comply with the valid configuration information. Additionally, a threat risk notification can be initiated in order to notify users of the non-compliance.
