Abstract
Embodiments of this invention relate generally to systems used to cool computer hardware and more particularly to an adaptor for a graphics module. In one embodiment a graphics card assembly is provided. The graphics card assembly includes a printed circuit board (PCB); a graphics processing unit (GPU) attached to the PCB; and an adaptor having first and second surfaces and made from a thermally conductive material. The adaptor is disposed on the PCB so that the first surface is in thermal communication with the GPU and the second surface providing a standard interface for thermal communication with a cooling system.
