<p>The heat sink is in the form of a box (10) having a bottom surface coming into contact with a heating element (12), that is, an element to be cooled such as an MPU. The box further comprises one or more side walls on which a plurality of ventilation holes (13) are formed; and an upper surface into which a cooling fan (11) composed of blades (11b) and a motor (11a) is embedded and fixed. Heat generated from the heating element is conducted from the bottom of the box to the side walls, and drawn away by air flowing through the ventilation holes (13) which is sucked in by the cooling fan (11). By arranging the motor away from the heating element, the bearing of the motor is not exposed to high temperatures, avoiding deterioration of a lubricant on the bearing. <IMAGE></p> |
