Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for managing thermal energy of a computing device. An apparatus may include a heat pipe physically and thermally attached to a container by a retainer. The container may include a plurality of slots to removably receive various plurality of pluggable circuit modules during a lifetime of the container. The heat pipe may facilitate a liquid coolant flow to remove thermal energy from a plurality of pluggable circuit modules removably received into the plurality of slots of the container. The retainer may have a tensile strength sufficient to withstand repeated receiving and removal of the various plurality of pluggable circuit modules during the lifetime of the container, without degrading the thermal attachment of the heat pipe to the container below a design performance threshold. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein may include apparatuses, systems and/or processes to encapsulate a circuit board to be cooled with a liquid coolant, that includes a first part dimensioned to receive the circuit board coupled with one or more heat sinks; a second part dimensioned to mate with the first part, and with a portion of a side of the circuit board around the one or more heat sinks to create a volume surrounding the circuit board, with a portion of the one or more heat sinks are outside the volume and is to be exposed to the liquid coolant, and a sealer to seal areas where the second part mates with the first part and the portion of the side of the circuit board, to prevent the liquid coolant from entering the volume. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a cold plate. The ruler factor cold plate is to receive heat from semiconductor chips of a electronic component that is to be plugged into an electronic system. The cold plate has at least one of: a) a linearly advancing physical interface, the linearly advancing physical interface to make physical contact with a corresponding linearly advancing physical interface of a cooling component of the electronic system, the physical contact to create a thermal path from the cold plate to the cooling component; b) first fingers on a first face of the cold plate to make spring-force thermal contact with the semiconductor chips of the electronic component and second fingers on an opposite second face of the cold plate to make spring-force thermal contact with the respective semiconductor chips of another, neighboring electronic component.
