Abstract

Cooling apparatus for computers and other electronic devices includes a heat transfer device having a passageway through which a liquid coolant circulates. The coolant circulates from the heat transfer device to a heat dissipation device and back. The heat dissipation device has a reservoir with fins positioned thereon. A fan directs ambient air through the fins to dissipate heat from the liquid coolant. The fan and fins are separated from the interior space of the computer by walls to isolate the heat-producing components from flow of ambient air.
