Cooling element fastening module in computer housing, e.g. for cooling microprocessor waste heat, consisting of two fastening frames, first for passive and second for active cooling element(s), both frames so integrated as single member

摘要

Fastening module (10) consists of at least one first fastening frame (12) for passive cooling element(s) and at least one second fastening frame (14) for active cooling element(s). Both frames form single, integrated component. Thus air stream, generated by active cooling element flows through and round passive cooling element. Preferably second fastening frame protrudes beyond first fastening frame, at least at one end (36). Typically passive cooling element is metal or alloy body with cooling ribs.
