Abstract: A device for assembling circuit boards. The device has an upper surface for receiving a compressing force. The device also has a lower surface for compressing a number of compression devices in a land grid array assembly while allowing access to a number of fasteners associated with the compression devices. The device is able to assist in the formation of an electrical contact between a chip package in the land grid array assembly and a circuit board by the lower surface being pressed against the compression devices to compress the compression devices and then allowing the plurality of fasteners to be tightened.

Abstract: Representative embodiments provide for a circuit device cooling apparatus having a first heat pipe which includes a first heat pipe condenser, and a second heat pipe which includes a second heat pipe condenser. A heat sink is attached to the first heat pipe condenser and the second heat pipe condenser. Another representative embodiment provides for a method of removing heat from a first circuit device and a second circuit device. The method includes providing a heat dissipating member, and connecting the first circuit device to the heat dissipating member with a first heat pipe. the method further includes connecting the second circuit device to the heat dissipating member with a second heat pipe, and providing compliance between the first heat pipe and the second heat pipe.
