Memory Heat Spreader Thermal Pad Replacement (Liquid-Cooled Modules
Only)
In liquid-cooled module configurations, the heat generated from installed DIMMs is drawn out of the module
by means of an array of memory heat spreaders that are interconnected to the internal plumbing of the
liquid-cooling loop. Each heat spreader is positioned in between two DIMMs. Thermal pads are affixed to
both sides of a heat spreader to ensure efficient heat dissipation from the DIMMs to the heat spreader.
Should a thermal pad become damaged while installing or removing a DIMM, or become damaged or worn
for other reasons, the following sections provide the instructions necessary to remove and replace a heat
spreader thermal pad.
Note:
To maintain optimal performance of the liquid-cooling loop, Intel recommends replacing ALL thermal
pads at once.
