Abstract
Printed circuit boards and assemblies for cooling electronic devices in processing units are described herein. In some embodiments, a printed circuit board configured to be coupled to an electronic device defines a first set of lumens configured to receive a mounting portion of a frame. The frame and a portion of a first surface of the printed circuit board collectively define an internal volume within which at least a portion of the electronic device can be disposed and an external volume that is external to the internal volume. The printed circuit board defines a second set of lumens positioned to place at least a portion of the external volume in fluid communication with the internal volume.

12. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a printed circuit board configured to be coupled to an electronic device, the printed circuit board defining a first plurality of lumens therethrough and a second plurality of lumens therethrough between a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; and a frame including a plurality of mounting protrusions and a side wall, the frame being coupled to the printed circuit board such that each mounting protrusion from the plurality of mounting protrusions is disposed within a lumen from the first plurality of lumens, a portion of the side wall of the frame and the first surface of the printed circuit board defining an internal volume within which at least a portion of the electronic device is disposed when the electronic device is coupled to the printed circuit board, at least one lumen from the second plurality of lumens defined by the printed circuit board positioned such that an external volume adjacent the second surface of the printed board is in fluid communication with the internal volume. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
