Abstract
A microprocessor heat sink retention module is described. That module comprises a first frame that has a first side and a second side. The first side is separated from the second side by a distance that is sufficient to enable a microprocessor to fit within the frame. The first and second sides each have at least one aperture for receiving a microprocessor heat sink. The module also has a heat transfer platform, which is integrated with the first frame. The heat transfer platform comprises a substantially flat metal slab for dissipating heat that is generated by a voltage regulator. Also described are an assembly for a computer and a computer system that include this microprocessor heat sink retention module.
