Disclosed herein is computer system having a first and second multiple chip modules (MCM) and a cooling module. The cooling module includes a first cooling loop associated with said first MCM and a first evaporator. The cooling module further includes a second cooling loop associated with said second MCM and a second evaporator. Each cooling loop is coupled to a common condenser that receives thermal energy from each cooling loop. A controller is coupled to the first and second cooling loop and adapts the operation of the first and second cooling loop in response to variances in operating conditions to provide cooling of the first and second MCM.

What is claimed is: 1. A cooling system for a computer having a first processor and a second processor, the system comprising:a first cooling loop thermally coupled to said first processor, said first cooling loop having a first expansion valve fluidly coupled with a first compressor and a first temperature sensor thermally coupled to said first processor;a second cooling loop thermally coupled to the second processor, said second cooling loop having a second expansion valve fluidly coupled to a second compressor and a second temperature sensor thermally coupled to said second processor;a single condenser coupled to said first cooling loop and said second cooling loop; and,a controller operably coupled to said first expansion valve and said second expansion valve, wherein said controller is responsive to executable instructions to adjust said first expansion valve in response to a first signal from said first temperature sensor and adjust said second expansion valve in response to a second signal from said second temperature sensor, wherein the adjustment of the first expansion valve operates said first processor at a first temperature and the adjustment of the second expansion valve operates said second processor at a second temperature.
