Abstract
A memory module having a packaging cover to encapsulate a board having multiple separate chips, which dynamically generating varying amounts heat. The packaging cover provides localized heat dissipation among the multiple separate memory chips. The separate chips are interconnected to the board via a set of solder balls. The packaging cover further provides a rigid encapsulation of the board and chips. In one embodiment, the memory module includes a thermally conductive substance displaced within the packaging cover to conduct heat from the separate chips to the packaging cover. In one embodiment, the packaging cover consists of a plastic material having a sheet of metal coupled to an interior surface of the packaging cover. In one embodiment, the packaging cover includes two separate covers, with a first cover having an insert pin, and a second cover having an insert receptacle to receive the insert pin. In an alternative embodiment, the first cover of the packaging cover includes a set of clip snaps to secure a coupling between the first cover and a second cover of the packaging cover.
