Abstract:
A system and method for thermally coupling memory devices, such as DIMM memory modules, to an associated memory controller such that both are cooled together at the same relative temperature. By maintaining all of the devices at a much more uniform temperature, memory timing issues are effectively eliminated. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the controller chip is physically located between two or more banks of memory, and is positioned under an adjoining heat sink while the memory DIMMs are positioned laterally of the controller chip in angled DIMM slots and are coupled to the controller chip with respective heat spreaders.
