Abstract

A heat dissipating system includes an enclosure, a first fan module, a second fan module of a computer power source. The enclosure has a front panel, a rear panel parallel to the front panel, a side panel, and a top panel. The rear panel defines an output vent therein. A disk drive module is disposed on the front panel and near the top panel. A motherboard with a CPU is disposed on the side panel. The first fan module is configured to dissipate heat generated by the CPU. The second fan module is placed on the rear panel and is aligned with the output vent of the rear panel. The top panel defines a plurality of airflow holes corresponding to the disk drive module. The plurality of the airflow holes is capable of allowing air to flow to the disk drive module for heat dissipating.
