A thermal module is provided for absorbing and dissipating heat from a heat generating component. The module comprises a module body, input and output ports, and a channel disposed within the module body. The module body includes a thermally conductive base, a top surface, and a side surface rising from the base toward the top surface. The base is disposable adjacent the heat generating component to facilitate transfer of heat from the heat generating component to the base. The input and output ports are each disposed on the side surface of the body. The channel is encapsulated within the module body and extends from the input port to the output port to define a flow path. The channel is operative to convey a cooling fluid therethrough for absorbing and dissipating the heat from the heat generating component.
