Abstract
A processor module includes a processor and a voltage regulator both mounted on a carrier. The voltage regulator is mounted with its contacts under compression to ensure good electrical contact with pads on the carrier. Heat sinks mounted respectively on the processor and the voltage regulator are rigidly coupled to each other to provide rigidity to the module and thus maintain the desired compression of the voltage regulator contacts.
