A method, apparatus, and system related to thermal management. The method includes reducing a temperature of a stream of air upstream of at least one memory module by a heat absorption component of a refrigeration device, moving the stream of air into contact with at least one surface of the at least one memory module and transferring heat provided by the at least one memory module and a heat rejection component of the refrigeration device to a location downstream of the at least one memory module.

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: reducing a temperature of a stream of air upstream of at least one a first memory module and a second memory module by a heat absorption component of a refrigeration device located adjacent to but not in physical contact with each of the at least first and second memory modules; moving the stream of air into contact with at least one surface of the at least first and second memory modules; and transferring heat provided by the at least first and second memory modules and a heat rejection component of the refrigeration device not in physical contact with the first and second memory modules to a location downstream of the at least first and second memory modules. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the heat absorption component comprises an evaporator. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the heat rejection component comprises a condenser. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the temperature of the stream of air is reduced to a temperature within a specified safe temperature operating range for the at least first and second memory modules. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least first and second memory modules comprises at least two banks of memory modules. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the moving of the stream of air is aided by at least one of a fan device, a blower, and an air handler. 7. An apparatus, comprising: at least a first memory module and a second memory module; a heat absorption component of a refrigeration device located adjacent to but not in physical contact with each of the at least first and second memory modules at an upstream air flow position relative to an air flow over the at least first and second memory modules; and a heat rejection component of the refrigeration device, located at a downstream air flow position relative to the air flow over the at least first and a second memory modules and not in physical contact with the at least first and second memory modules, to transfer heat provided by the at least first and second memory modules and the heat rejection component of the refrigeration device to a location downstream of the at least first and second memory modules. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the heat absorption component and the heat rejection component of the refrigeration device comprise a closed loop refrigeration system. 9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the at least first and second memory modules comprises a dual in-line memory module. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising a printed circuit board to which the refrigeration device and the at least first and second memory modules are mounted. 11. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising a fan device to circulate the air flow over at least one surface of the at least first and second memory modules. 12. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the heat absorption component comprises an evaporator. 13. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the heat rejection component comprises a condenser. 14. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the heat absorption device reduces a temperature of the air flow at the upstream location to a temperature within a specified safe temperature operating range for the at least first and second memory modules, prior to the air flow over the at least one memory module. 15. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the at least first and second memory modules comprises at least two banks of memory modules. 16. A system, comprising: a printed circuit board (PCB); at least a first memory module and a second memory module mounted to the PCB; a heat absorption component of a refrigeration device mounted to the PCB and located adjacent to but not in physical contact with each of the at least first and second memory modules at an upstream air flow position relative to the at least one memory module; a heat rejection component of the refrigeration device, located at a downstream air flow position relative to the at least one first and second memory modules and not in physical contact with either of the at least first and second memory modules; and an electronic device mounted the PCB. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the electronic device is at least one of a processor, a microprocessor, and a memory device. 18. The system of claim 16, further comprising a fan device to encourage the direction of the air flow over at least one surface of the at least first and second memory modules.
