The apparatus further includes: a) a channel in one of the main and remote cooling masses into which the heat pipe is inserted, the channel being wide enough to allow movement of the heat pipe within the channel in response to relative movement of the main and remote cooling masses, wherein, the main cooling mass comprises a chamber with liquid, the heat pipe comprises a fluidic channel that is coupled to the chamber and vapor from the liquid is to be condensed within the heat pipe; b) a flexible region integrated into the heat pipe; and/or, c) a flexible connector into which the heat pipe is inserted.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a DIMM cooling assembly. The DIMM cooling assembly includes first and second heat spreaders to be respectively disposed on first and second sides of the DIMM's circuit board. The first and second sides having respective memory chips. The DIMM cooling assembly includes a heat dissipative structure. The DIMM's circuit board is to be disposed between the heat dissipative structure and a printed circuit board that the DIMM is to be plugged into. The DIMM cooling assembly includes fixturing elements to apply compressive forces toward the respective side edges of the DIMM's circuit board to the heat spreaders.

Abstract: A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) cooling apparatus is described. The DIMM cooling assembly includes a first heat spreader to be thermally coupled to respective memory chips of a first side of the DIMM. The DIMM cooling assembly includes a second heat spreader to be thermally coupled to respective memory chips of a second side of the DIMM. The DIMM cooling assembly includes a heat sink element. The heat sink element is to reside above the DIMM. The heat sink element is to receive heat from the first and second heat spreaders. The heat sink element has thermal transfer structures to lower thermal resistance between the heat sink element and the heat sink element's ambient.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards apparatuses, methods, and systems for a connector having a housing body to couple a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) to a printed circuit board (PCB). In embodiments, the housing body includes first and second opposing ends of the connector and a first and a second latch coupled at the respective first and second opposing ends of the connector to engage the DIMM. In embodiments, the first and the second opposing ends have respective first and second heights relative to a height of the housing body to allow the DIMM to be inserted or removed at an angle when disengaged from the first and second latch. In embodiments, one or more of the latches are removably coupled to the connector and/or can be rotated into a lay-flat position to allow the DIMM to be removed at an angle. Additional embodiments may be described and claimed.
