According to some embodiments, a test fluid may be provided into a chamber associated with a cooling system for an electronic integrated circuit. Moreover, a valve may be partially inserted into an opening of the chamber to seal the chamber. The valve may include a first sealing portion to seal the chamber at the opening when the valve shaft is inserted the first distance. The valve may then be inserted an intermediate distance, between the first distance and a second distance, to unseal the chamber. Note that the valve may include a second sealing portion, offset from the first sealing portion, to seal the chamber at the opening when the valve is inserted the second distance. The valve may further define a passage, between the first and second sealing portions, to permit a flow of the test fluid when the valve is inserted the intermediate distance.

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: providing a test fluid into a chamber associated with a cooling system for an electronic integrated circuit; partially inserting a valve a first distance into an opening of the chamber to seal the opening of the chamber, the opening having a width, wherein said valve defines an axis along which the valve is inserted into the opening, and further wherein said valve includes a first sealing portion to seal the opening of the chamber when the valve is inserted the first distance; continuing to insert the valve an intermediate distance, between the first distance and a second distance, to unseal the chamber, wherein said valve includes a second sealing portion on the valve, offset from the first sealing portion along the axis, to seal the chamber at the opening when the valve is inserted the second distance, and further wherein said valve defines a passage between the first and second sealing portions, at least some the passage having a width less than the first and second sealing portions to permit a flow of the test fluid when the valve is inserted the intermediate distance; evacuating the test fluid from the unsealed chamber while the valve is inserted the intermediate distance; filling the unsealed chamber with a coolant fluid while the valve is inserted the intermediate distance; and continuing to insert the valve from the intermediate distance to the second distance to reseal the opening of the chamber with the second portion of said valve. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising after the partially inserting and before the continuing to insert: testing the cooling system using the test fluid. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the testing is associated with a pressurized leak test. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: pumping the coolant fluid into and out of the resealed chamber to cool the electronic integrated circuit. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising: facilitating a removal of heat from the coolant fluid with a heat exchanger. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the test fluid or the coolant fluid includes at least one of: (i) a gas, (ii) a liquid, (iii) air, (iv) water, (v) helium, or (vi) propylene glycol. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the test fluid and the coolant fluid are different types of fluid. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic integrated circuit comprises a processor. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein processor is associated with at least one of: (i) a personal computer, (ii) a mobile computer, (iii) a server, (iv) a media device, or (v) a game device. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second sealing portions comprise at least one of: (i) an o-ring or (ii) an interference fit. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the o-ring sits within a circular notch of the valve . 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising: using a cantilever portion, proximate to an end of the valve to be inserted into the opening, to brace the valve when the valve is inserted into the opening. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising: using at least one barb to hold the valve when the valve is inserted into the opening. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising: using a removable plug to access the chamber when the valve is inserted into the opening.
