Abstract:
1. A cooling system for a computer system having a computer case receiving a heat-generating electronic component therein, comprising: a housing adapted to be coupled to the computer case, having a lower protrusion and an upper protrusion; a thermoelectric module received in the housing, having a cold side and a hot side when the thermoelectric module is subjected to an electric voltage; a first fan for blowing hot air generated by the heat-generating electronic component in the computer case to the cold side of the thermoelectric module via an aperture defined by the upper protrusion; a second fan for blowing cold air from the cold side of the thermoelectric module to the heat-generating electronic component via an aperture defined by the lower protrusion; a first heat sink mounted to the cold side of the thermoelectric module; and a second heat sink mounted to the hot side of the thermoelectric module.
