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.
