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 (18)

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

a DIMM that includes a portion with attached memory chips;

a mold that surrounds the portion of the DIMM with attached memory chips; and

a thermal material that is injected into the mold, surrounds the portion of the DIMM, and forms a thermal interface between the DIMM and a cooling manifold that includes a liquid cooled pipe; wherein the thermal material includes a manifold engagement surface to lock the thermal interface to the cooling manifold.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the thermal interface includes a conductive plate coupled to the thermal interface, the conductive plate to couple to the cooling manifold, the conductive plate to transfer heat from the thermal material to the cooling manifold.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the thermal interface includes a conductive plate incorporated into the thermal material, the conductive plate to transfer within the thermal material, heat generated by the DIMM.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a DIMM socket latch to lock the DIMM into the thermal interface.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the manifold engagement surface locks the thermal interface to a manifold receiving surface of the cooling manifold.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the manifold engagement surface locks with the cooling manifold when the thermal interface is stretched.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein when the thermal interface is stretched, the thermal material compresses around the memory chips attached to the DIMM.

8. An apparatus forming an overmolded dual in-line memory module (DIMM) cooling structure, the apparatus comprising:

a cooling manifold that includes a liquid cooled pipe;

a mold that surrounds a portion of a DIMM with attached memory chips; and

a thermal material that is injected into the mold, surrounds the portion of the DIMM, and forms a thermal interface between the DIMM and the cooling manifold that includes the liquid cooled pipe; wherein the thermal material includes a manifold engagement surface to lock the thermal interface to the cooling manifold.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the manifold engagement surface locks the thermal interface to a manifold receiving surface of the cooling manifold.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the manifold engagement surface locks with the cooling manifold when the thermal interface is stretched.

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

12. The apparatus of claim 8 further comprising a DIMM socket latch to lock the DIMM into the thermal interface.
