Abstract

See full text

The invention is an integrated computer module having a cooling tunnel which efficiently cools a microprocessor or other heat generating component on a main PCBA inside of the module. The module includes its own cooling fan so that the module can safely and effectively operate with high power microprocessors which generate significant amounts of heat. A heat sink bonded to the microprocessor extends up into the cooling tunnel. A tapering section accelerates air leaving the cooling fan into the cooling tunnel such that the module may use a quieter, more cost effective cooling fan. The tapering section may be formed from a folded section of a ribbon cable which connects the main PCBA to the disk drive.
