Abstract
A heat sink alignment apparatus having an internal chamber with a plurality of heat sinks placed at an angled relationship to one another creating a tunnel through which air streams flows. At least one heat source is attached to a heat sink. A plurality of air streams enter the heat sink alignment apparatus through an ambient air intake and over a fan into the tunnel. The tunnel gradually narrows thereby increasing the velocity of the air streams which increases the cooling of the heat source. The narrowing shape of the tunnel creates turbulence within the plurality of air streams increasing the transfer of heat to various airstreams from the heat sink thereby lowering the temperature of the heat sources also.
