Device for cooling memory modules
A device for cooling memory modules can include a plurality of elements. The elements can thermal couple at least two memory modules. The device can further include a body or a plurality of contact areas bearing in a planar manner.
1. A device for cooling memory modules comprising:
a body comprising a comb-shaped configuration in longitudinal section and including a plurality of elements, the elements thermally coupling at least two memory modules, wherein at least two adjacently aligned elements include surfaces that face each other, each surface including a contact element extending from and connected to the surface via a spring element that biases the contact element away from the surface, such that the contact elements extend toward and engage with a memory module that is placed between the adjacently aligned elements.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the contact elements include planar areas that contact a memory module inserted between the adjacently aligned elements.
3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body is formed of aluminum.
4. The device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an insulation layer is formed at least partially on a surface of each contact element.
5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body includes cooling fins.
6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body includes a fan as an active cooling element.
7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body includes a Peltier element as an active cooling element.
