Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for forming an overmolded dual in-line memory module (DIMM) cooling structure are provided. Embodiments include identifying, by a tagging module, contextual information indicating circumstances in which the photograph was taken; based on the contextual information, selecting, by the tagging module, candidate profiles from a plurality of friend profiles associated with a profile of a user; and suggesting, by the tagging module to the user, the selected candidate profiles as potential friends to tag in the photograph.

Claims (13)

1. A method of forming an overmolded dual in-line memory module (DIMM) cooling structure, the method comprising:

providing, by a molding system, a mold for a DIMM, the DIMM including a portion with attached memory chips; and

forming, by the molding system, a thermal interface that includes thermal material, the thermal material surrounding at least the portion of the DIMM with the attached memory chips, the thermal interface to transfer heat from the DIMM to a cooling manifold, wherein the cooling manifold is a liquid pipe.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein forming the thermal interface includes coupling, by the molding system, a conductive plate to the thermal material, the conductive plate to couple to the cooling manifold.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein forming the thermal interface includes incorporating, by the molding system, a conductive plate into the thermal material.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein forming the thermal interface includes injecting the thermal material into a mold surrounding at least the portion of the DIMM with the attached memory chips.

5. A method of forming an overmolded dual in-line memory module (DIMM) cooling structure, the method comprising:

forming, by the molding system, a thermal interface to contact and surround at least a portion of a DIMM having memory chips attached;

the thermal interface to couple with a cooling manifold that includes a liquid cooled pipe, the thermal interface including thermal material to transfer heat from the DIMM to the cooling manifold.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising forming, by the molding system, a manifold engagement surface on the thermal interface, the manifold engagement surface to lock the thermal interface to the cooling manifold.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the manifold engagement surface locks with the cooling manifold when the thermal interface is stretched.

8. The method of claim 5 wherein when the thermal interface is stretched, the thermal material compresses around the memory chips attached to the DIMM.

9. The method of claim 5 wherein forming the thermal interface includes injecting the thermal material into a mold.
