Abstract

A heat dissipating apparatus includes a heat sink (20) having a base plate (22) for contacting an electronic component (10). A number of main fins (24) extend from the base plate. A cooling fan (30) is mounted on the heat sink. A center of the cooling fan offsets in a first direction from a center of the electronic component, so that a portion of the cooling fan that generates more and stronger airflows than the center of the cooling fan does is aligned with the center of the electronic component.
