Abstract
Various embodiments described herein include systems, methods and/or devices for dissipating heat generated by electronic components in an electronic system (e.g., a memory system that includes closely spaced memory modules). In one aspect, an electronic assembly includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board flexibly coupled to the first circuit board, a connecting module coupled to the second circuit board, and a fastener. The fastener is configured to couple the first circuit board to the connecting module such that the first circuit board and the second circuit board are substantially parallel and are separated by a space, wherein the space forms at least part of a channel that is configured to direct airflow through the space between the first circuit board, second circuit board, and connecting module.
