An integrated circuit (IC) chip module includes a carrier, a stiffening frame, an IC chip, and a first directional heat spreader. A second directional heat spreader may further be arranged orthogonal to the first directional heat spreader. The carrier has a top surface and a bottom surface configured to be electrically connected to a motherboard. The stiffening frame includes an opening that accepts the IC chip and may be attached to the top surface of the carrier. The IC chip is concentrically arranged within the opening of the stiffening frame. The first directional heat spreader is attached to the stiffening frame and to the IC chip and generally removes heat in a first opposing bivector direction. When included in the IC chip module, the second directional heat spreader is attached to the stiffening frame and to the first directional heat spreader and generally removes heat in a second opposing bivector direction orthogonal to the first opposing bivector direction.

A heat dissipator structure, comprising: a heat-dissipation base and a conductive metal block. The heat-dissipation base includes a substrate and a plurality of heat-dissipating fins disposed on the substrate, wherein a receiving portion and a limit sliding block are disposed on the substrate, with the limit sliding block disposed on the receiving portion and movable within a restrictive interval. The conductive metal block includes a body portion, an assembling portion disposed beside the body portion, and a heat dissipation plane disposed on the body portion to face away from the assembling portion and be in contact with an electronic component, with the assembling portion disposed on the receiving portion, an unpenetrable object means disposed on the assembling portion to hold the limit sliding block laterally and keep the heat dissipation plane fiat, and at least one resilient unit disposed between the assembling portion plane and the receiving portion plane to provide resilient support to the conductive metal block.

The invention relates to an electronic board (200) comprising: a support (102), at least one electronic component (104) mounted on said support (102), a protective layer (110), mounted on said support (102), covering said electronic component (104) at a non-zero distance from said electronic component (104), and a heat dissipation device for said electronic component (104) comprising a metal thermal connecting part (202) screwed into said protective layer (110), passing through said protective layer (110) and coming into contact with said electronic component (104), so as to create a thermal connection between said electronic component (104) and said protective layer (110).

It also relates to an electronic apparatus comprising such an electronic board.

A heat sink structure includes a heat sink; a threaded heat sink base pocket within the heat sink; a module lid, where the module lid thermally interfaces with a die; a threaded exterior portion of the module lid; and a thread engagement between the threaded heat sink base pocket and the threaded exterior portion of the module lid, where the thread engagement mechanically couples the heat sink to the module lid.

A method affixes a heat sink to a module lid. A module lid is mounted to a substrate by use of a lid adhesive. The module lid has a threaded exterior portion. The module lid is thermally interfaced to a die by use of a thermal interface material. The heat sink is then screwed onto a module lid, where the heat sink includes a threaded heat sink base pocket that mates with the threaded exterior portion of the module lid, and wherein the heat sink is screwed down onto the module lid until 1) a solid mechanical and thermal contact is established between the heat sink and the module lid, and 2) an airflow from an air moving device flows unobstructed across vanes on the heat sink.
