Flexible cold plate with fluid distribution mechanism

A cooling apparatus comprising:

• a radiator;
• and
• a cold plate connected to the radiator by at least two fluid tubes, the cold plate comprising a cold plate base comprising:
• a fluid intake region located at a distal end of the cold plate, and a fluid outtake region located at a proximal end of the cold plate that is opposite the distal end;
• a fin region positioned between the fluid intake region and the fluid outtake region, wherein the fin region extends from a base surface of the cold plate base, the fin region comprising at least one wall region, the at least one wall region comprising a plurality of elongated walls configured in a non-matrix arrangement;
• and
• a plurality of protrusions at the fluid intake region, wherein each of the plurality of protrusions radiates from the fluid intake region to create flow paths across the fin region.

A server device comprising:

• at least one electronic component;
• and
• a cooling apparatus configured to couple with the at least one electronic component, the cooling apparatus comprising:
• a radiator;
• and
• a cold plate connected to the radiator by at least two fluid tubes, the cold plate comprising a cold plate base comprising:
• a fluid intake region located at a distal end of the cold plate, and a fluid outtake region located at a proximal end of the cold plate that is opposite the distal end;
• a fin region positioned between the fluid intake region and the fluid outtake region, wherein the fin region extends from a base surface of the cold plate base, the fin region comprising at least one wall region, the at least one wall region comprising a plurality of elongated walls configured in a non-matrix arrangement;
• and
• a plurality of protrusions at the fluid intake region, wherein each of the plurality of protrusions radiates from the fluid intake region to create flow paths across the fin region.
