Heatsink device with multiple inlets and related computing device and method

A computing device comprising:

• an electronic component;
• a heatsink device abutting said electronic component and comprising
• a base plate having a body, and a plurality of legs extending laterally outward from said body, and defining an opening within said body, and
• a heat exchanger comprising
• a lower body under said base plate and abutting the electronic component,
• an upper body coupled to said lower body to define a fluid chamber therein, and
• a medial plate between said lower body and said upper body and having first and second slots therein,
• said upper body defining first and second inlet passageways respectively aligned with said first and second slots, and an outlet passageway for fluid in the fluid chamber,
• said first and second slots configured to cause the fluid to flow laterally within the fluid chamber;
• and
• a radiator fluidly coupled to said heatsink device.

A method for making a heatsink device for an electronic component, the method comprising:

• forming a base plate having a body, and a plurality of legs extending laterally outward from the body, and defining an opening within the body;
• and
• forming a heat exchanger comprising
• a lower body under the base plate and abutting the electronic component,
• an upper body coupled to the lower body to define a fluid chamber therein, and
• a medial plate between the lower body and the upper body and having first and second slots therein;
• the upper body defining first and second inlet passageways respectively aligned with the first and second slots, and an outlet passageway for fluid in the fluid chamber;
• the first and second slots configured to cause the fluid to flow laterally within the fluid chamber.
