Abstract

A heat dissipation apparatus for dissipating heat from two heat sources includes a heat sink, and a fan mounted on the heat sink. The heat sink includes a base and a plurality of parallel fins positioned on the base, the base contacts with one of the two heat sources for thermally conducting the heat generated by the one of the two heat sources. The fan is configured to generate airflow through the fins in such a manner that airflow flows from a second side of the fins to a first side of the fins. A deflecting member is mounted on the first side of the fins for deflecting airflow from the fan towards the second of the two heat sources.
