A memory device cooling apparatus includes a first heat sink operable to engage a first chip that is located on a memory device and that is operable to operate at a first temperature. A second heat sink is included that is separate from the first heat sink and is operable to engage a second chip that is located on a memory device and that is operable to operate at a second temperature, wherein the second temperature is different from the first temperature. A retaining feature is operable to couple the first heat sink and the second heat sink to a memory device. The memory device cooling apparatus may be coupled to a memory device having at least two different chips that operate at different temperatures to efficiently dissipate heat from the chips in order to cool the memory device.
