A spring-like cooling structure for an in-line chip module is formed from a continuous sheet of a thermally conducting material having a front side and a back side, the sheet folded at substantially a one-hundred and eighty degree angle, wherein a length of the structure substantially correlates to a length of the in-line chip module, and a width of the structure is wider than a width of the in-line chip module such that the structure fits over and substantially around the in-line chip module; openings at a left-side, right-side and a bottom of the structure for easily affixing and removing the structure from the in-line chip module; a top part comprising a top surface disposed over a top of the in-line chip module when affixed to the in-line chip module, and comprising an angled surface flaring outward from the in-line chip module, the angled surface positioned directly beneath the top surface; a center horizontal part; a gap between the center horizontal part and the plurality of chips; and a flared bottom area of the structure.
