Description

    BACKGROUND
  • 1. Technical Field
  • The present disclosure relates to heat dissipation in an electronic device, and particularly, to an airflow guide for heat dissipation applied in an electronic device.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • An electronic device (for example, a computer or a server) can consist of many parts such as a disk drive, a power supply, a motherboard and electronic components such as memory, IC components, CPU (central processing units), and others, assembled on the motherboard. Heat generated by the electronic components of the electronic device requires prompt dissipation. As performance parameters of the components increase, the generated heat increases commensurately. Therefore, the electronic device usually includes a fan, which is provided with an airflow guide, to dissipate the heat generated by the electronic components.
  • A typical airflow guide is fixed in a computer case, and a fan is provided with the airflow guide to dissipate excess heat. The airflow guide can be disposed on the CPU and the power supply. The airflow guide includes a top cover and two side covers. The side covers extend perpendicular to opposite ends of the top cover respectively. The side covers and the top cover cooperatively define an air inlet adjoining the CPU and an air outlet adjoining the power supply. However, for different sizes of electronic components, various airflow guides having different configurations may be required. For example, a single-core CPU and a dual-core CPU require different lengths of the airflow guide.
  • Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
