Abstract
A system for cooling a component in a computer system is disclosed. The system comprises a socket for receiving the component and for coupling the component to a planar. A heat dissipating element is coupled to the component and to the socket via a plurality of socket tabs coupled to the socket. At least two socket tabs include an embedded reinforcing strip which extends from the socket. A further aspect of the present invention provides securing the socket to the planar by extending the reinforcing strip from each of the at least two socket tabs through the socket and out of a bottom surface of the socket, and coupling the reinforcing strip from each of the at least two socket tabs to the planar.
