COOLING SYSTEM HAVING INDEPENDENT FAN LOCATION

摘要

The present invention comprises a heatsink adjacent a first device wherein a gas supply can be located to provide gas in any direction with respect to the heatsink. The gas supply may be realized as a fan, a blower, or a compressed gas source. The gas supply may be provided in any direction or in multiple directions. The heatsink is in thermal communication with a first heat-producing device such as a microprocessor. In a preferred embodiment the heatsink comprises a radial shaped folded fin heatsink arranged for axial flow.
