A heatsink having enhanced localized cooling. The heatsink comprises a wall; a heatframe; a coolant channel between the wall and the heatframe, wherein a bulk coolant flows through the coolant channel; and one or more nozzles that extend into the coolant channel and proximate the wall and/or the heatframe, wherein a high-pressure coolant flows through the one or more nozzles, mixes with the bulk coolant in the coolant channel, and impinges on a cooling area of the wall and/or the heatframe proximate an outlet of the one or more nozzles to provide enhanced localized cooling to at least a portion of a heat producing device that is proximate to or in partial contact with the wall and/or the heatframe proximate to the cooling area of the wall and/or the heatframe.
