Abstract
A processing unit. The processing unit includes a printed circuit board (PCB) including a lidless integrated circuit, a heatsink, and a damper system. The heatsink is coupled to the PCB and in thermal communication with the lidless integrated circuit via a thermal interface material. The damper system is compressed between the PCB and the heatsink and surrounding the lidless integrated circuit to absorb a portion of kinetic energy imparted to the lidless integrated circuit by an impact to the processing unit.
