Abstract

See full text

Methods of fabricating cooling apparatuses and coolant-cooled electronic assemblies are provided which include: coupling a thermal transfer structure configured to one or more sides of an electronics card having one or more electronic components to be cooled, the thermal transfer structure including a thermal spreader coupled to the one side of the electronics card; and disposing a coolant-cooled structure adjacent to the socket of the electronic system, the coolant-cooled structure including one or more low-profile cold rails sized and configured to thermally couple to the thermal spreader along a bottom edge of the thermal spreader with operative docking of the electronics card within the socket, and one or more coolant-carrying channels associated with the low-profile cold rail(s) for removing heat from the low-profile cold rail(s) to coolant flowing through the coolant-carrying channel(s).
