Abstract
According to some embodiments, systems for low cost liquid cooling may be provided. In some embodiments, a system may comprise a core having a first end and a second end, wherein the core defines a cavity extending between the first and second ends, a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the core between the first and second ends, an inlet to accept a fluid, an outlet to evacuate the fluid, and a shaped element disposed within the cavity of the core, wherein the shaped element is to direct the fluid within the cavity. According to some embodiments, the system may further comprise a pump that may comprise a housing defining an inlet to accept the fluid and an outlet to evacuate the fluid, an impeller disposed within the housing, wherein the impeller is to move the fluid toward the outlet, a motor to power the impeller, and a cold plate disposed at least partially within the housing.
