Abstract
Disclosed is a cooling assembly for processors and voltage regulators. A processor is attached to a cold plate. A voltage regulator heatsink is removably attached to the cold plate. The voltage regulator heatsink has cooling fins and a heatsink base. The heatsink base is attached to a voltage regulator. Liquid coolant is flowed through the cold plate to cool the processor and the voltage regulator.
