Example implementations relate to a method and system for cooling a compute node tray including a board, a plurality of first and second devices, a cooling assembly, and a support structure assembly. The cooling assembly includes a supply section, a return section, and an intermediate section coupled to the supply and return sections. The supply section includes a first conduit extending along a perimeter of the board and forming a thermal contact with the first devices. The intermediate section includes a plurality of cold plates and a plurality of second conduits forming the thermal contact with the second devices. The second conduits extends parallel to one another. The return section includes a third conduit extending parallel to a portion of the first conduit. The support structure encompasses the board and forms the thermal contact with a portion of the board, a plurality of third devices, and the cooling assembly.
