ABSTRACT:
Cooling systems for microprocessors are addressed. Some systems may include a chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond heatspreader mounted to a base of a heat sink and to a microprocessor chip, while others may include a copper insert mounted within a depression of a heat sink, with the CVD diamond heatspreader mounted within an indent of the insert.
