ABSTRACT:
A CPU cooling apparatus comprises a fin, a heat sink, and a heat pipe thermally coupling the fin and the heat sink. When installed in a personal computer, the fin thermally couples with a CPU to receive heat generated by the CPU. The heat pipe conducts the heat to a heat sink, which is cooled by an exhaust fan that directs a flow of air outside the computer.
