Abstract
A heat dissipating apparatus for use with an interface card including a display card or other add-on card has a heat sink, a heat pipe located on the heat sink and an airflow generator located on the hear sink. The apparatus can discharge heat generated by the interface card to the outside of the computer casing so that heat is not trapped inside the computer casing thereby achieving effective heat dissipation.
