Abstract
Technologies for managing hot spots in a compute device with use of a vortex tube are disclosed. Cold air from one or more vortex tubes can be routed to hot spots of one or more compute devices, providing effective spot cooling. This approach may allow for cooling of components that might otherwise be difficult to cool, such as components where would be difficult or impossible to cool with a heat sink. This approach may also be effective in cooling components that are downstream of a heat sink and would otherwise only be cooled by air that was already heated by the heat sink.
