Systems and methods for a floating quick disconnect in liquid cooling

An apparatus, comprising:

• a housing having a front-part and a back-part;
• a first connector of a quick disconnect oriented toward the front-part of the housing;
• and
• a pre-loaded biasing element disposed in the housing to apply a biasing force in a longitudinal direction between the housing and the first connector of the quick disconnect, wherein the pre-loaded biasing element is configured to allow the first connector of the quick disconnect to move relative to the housing, wherein the pre-loaded biasing element is at least one of a magnet and a compressible gas.
