Options for Improved Thermal Management
13) Choose memory modules with a mezzanine connector scheme that does not block air flow
Memory modules can be made in such a way to allow airflow across the short side of the
DIMM to eliminate heat from being dragged across the long side of the DIMM. This
technique does not expose as many DRAMs to the preheated air from the DRAMs upstream
in the airflow.
