PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the cooling performance of a heat sink apparatus without increasing the size and the manufacturing cost of the apparatus. SOLUTION: On a surface 10a of a heat sink base 10, a plurality of fins are so formed and an axial flow fan 2 provided oppositely to the surface 10a of the heat sink base 10 is so driven as to pass air through between each pair of fin constituents. Thereby, a element 5 is cooled via a rear surface 10b of the heat sink base 10. Further, in this heat sink apparatus, the fins have small- fin strings 11 in each of which a plurality of fin constituents 11a are so provided in parallel with each other in the state of securing a predetermined clearance 11b between each pair of fin constituents 11a that each small-fin string 11 is extended along the direction of the air flow generated on the surface 10a of the heat sink base 10 when driving the axial flow fan 2.
