Description

CPU COOLING APPARATUS FOR COMPUTER}

The present invention relates to a case and a cooler, which is a hardware part of a computer, and more particularly, to a CPU cooler of a computer which increases the efficiency of a cooler that cools a central processing unit of a computer.

Computers are electronic media that compute, store, and exchange electronic information. In modern society, computers are changing into electronic products that individuals or businesses must have. Recently, with the introduction of high-performance Pentium processors, interest in cooling the heat generated by the central processing unit (CPU) has become a concern. In other words, in order to manufacture a chip having the same size and have several tens or thousands of times the processing capacity and speed, more microcircuits must be mounted. Increased.

In addition, with the rapid spread of the Internet, computer utilization becomes more and more and more complicated tasks are performed for a long time, and the malfunction of the computer system and the system down due to excessive heat generated from the CPU become frequent. As a solution, a technique has been adopted to increase heat dissipation by attaching a CPU heat sink to the CPU or by mounting a CPU cooler attached to the CPU on the CPU.

1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing the inside of a conventional general computer.

Referring to FIG. 1, a general computer is composed of a computer case 2 in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and various components installed therein. In particular, the case 2 is essentially equipped with a motherboard 4, a power supply 6 for supplying power, a video card, a CD-ROM, etc. The core of operating the computer is the CPU (8).

As shown in the figure, the CPU 8 is attached to one surface of the motherboard 4, as described above, since a large amount of heat is generated during operation, the heat sink 9 and the cooler 10 are sequentially stacked.

The heat sink 9 is made of a metal material having excellent thermal conductivity, and is a structure in which the heat dissipation area is increased by increasing the surface area by raising the surface. Since the heat sink 9 alone does not dissipate heat from the CPU 8, a cooler 10 having a fan attached directly to the heat sink 9 is attached to the heat sink 9 to cool the CPU 8.

However, even when the heat sink 9 and the cooler 10 are installed in this manner to cool the CPU 8, there is a limit. That is, since a large number of electronic components operate inside the computer case 2, the heat generation amount of each component increases when the computer is driven, thereby increasing the temperature inside the case 2.

In order to prevent this, there is an attempt to use a cooler of the power supply 6 or separately to install a cooler in the case 2, but since the internal temperature of the case 2 which is almost closed is always higher than the external temperature, the CPU ( 8) The wind passing through the cooler 10 also has a problem that does not efficiently cool the CPU (8).

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, to provide a CPU cooling device of a computer that can directly increase the cooling effect of the CPU by directly sucking the air outside the computer case and blowing it to the CPU without loss. For that purpose.
