Dual in-line memory module (DIMM) Edgewater Spring (EWS) multi point contact cooling jacket

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first row piece comprising:
• a first pair of side panels;
• and
• a first top panel coupling the first pair of side panels in a manner that forms a space to receive a dual-in line memory module (DIMM) for insertion,
• wherein each of the first pair of side panels comprises a first row of leaf springs, each leaf spring exerting compressive force to support thermal contact and stable coupling with the received DIMM, wherein the first row of leaf springs comprises leaf springs positioned at a same first height, and wherein the first row of leaf springs comprises leaf springs each having one or more protruding portions to support thermal contact with the received DIMM near the first height;
• and
• a second row piece comprising:
• a second pair of side panels;
• and
• a second top panel coupling the second pair of side panels in a manner that forms the space to receive a dual-in line memory module (DIMM) for insertion,
• wherein each of the second pair of side panels comprises a second row of leaf springs, each leaf spring exerting compressive force to support thermal contact and stable coupling with the received DIMM, wherein the second row of leaf springs comprises leaf springs positioned at a same second height that is shorter than the first height, and wherein the second row of leaf springs comprises leaf springs each having one or more additional protruding portions to support thermal contact with the received DIMM near the second height.
