ABSTRACT:
A computer and a cooling unit for cooling a computer having a housing with a first panel including an aperture, a central processing unit coupled to a circuit board, a heat exchanger coupled to the central processing unit, and a power supply positioned apart from the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is positioned internally in the housing, and it is obstructed from the aperture in the first panel. In one particular embodiment, the cooling unit has a separate support element segregated from the power supply and an airflow director attached to the support element. The support element, for example, may have a first section attached to either the housing, the motherboard, or another component of the computer apart from the central processing unit. The support element may also have a second section extending from the first section to an airflow site proximate to the heat exchanger. The airflow director may be a fan or conduit with an air-stream output at the airflow site to direct an air-stream across the heat exchanger.
