Abstract: Techniques for heat sinks and cold plates for compute systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a heat sink includes two sub-heat sinks that are mechanically connected but thermally isolated. The two sub-heat sinks can independently cool different dies on the same integrated circuit component. In another embodiment, a system includes an integrated circuit component that is cooled by a first water block and a second water block. The first water block forms a loop with a gap in it, and the second water block has a pedestal that extends through the gap in the first water block to contact the integrated circuit component. The first water block and the second water block can independently cool different dies on the same integrated circuit component.

Abstract: An apparatus is described that includes a flow enhancement structure to enhance a flow of immersion bath liquid specifically through space between fins of a heat sink and/or across a base of a heat sink.

Abstract: Herein described are apparatuses and systems for facilitating alignment of computer component connectors. A package protector may include a body to at least partially surround an integrated circuit package of a circuit card when the package protector is mounted to the circuit card. The package protector may further include a guide pin component that extends from a side of the body, wherein the guide pin component is to be located adjacent to a header of the circuit card when the package protector is mounted to the circuit card, wherein a connector uses the guide pin component to align with the header via a guide pin.

Abstract: An integrated circuit assembly may be formed having at least one integrated circuit device electrically attached to an electronic substrate. The integrated circuit assembly may further include at least one electromagnetic interference structure attached to the electronic substrate adjacent to the at least one integrated circuit device. The at least one electromagnetic interference structure may be electrically attached to the electronic substrate with at least one resilient connector extending therebetween. In one embodiment, the at least one electromagnetic interference structure may be grounded to the electronic substrate.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein may include apparatuses, systems and/or processes to provide cooling to a heat source. In embodiments, a first set of cooling fins are thermally coupled to a heat source in a first orientation to allow first airflow to pass through in between the first set of cooling fins to dissipate heat from the heat source. A second set of cooling fins thermally coupled to the heat source in a second orientation to allow second airflow to pass through in between the second set of cooling fins to dissipate heat from the heat source. A barrier may be coupled to the second set of cooling fins to substantially divert the second airflow away from the first airflow about to pass through in between the first set of cooling fins so that pre-heated air does not flow over the first set of cooling fins.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a conductive layer extending from the printed circuit board to act as a heat sink for circuit components electrically and mechanically attached to the PCB. The conductive layer can be a copper ground layer of a multi-layered PCB. The PCB can include one or more circuit components, such as dynamic random access memory elements. In embodiments, the PCB is part of a dual inline memory module. The conductive layer can be fashioned such that it extends out from the PCB and returns over the circuit elements to define an air gap between the conductive layer and the surface of the PCB and/or the surface of the circuit elements. In embodiments, a connection adaptor can be used to accommodate various PCB thicknesses so that the PCB can be electrically connected to an edge connector.
