Abstract

A cooling fan rack includes a frame defining a union section; a plurality of stoppers arranged at four corners in the frame to cooperate with the frame to define an accommodating space; and a plurality of airflow paths formed between two adjacent stoppers to communicate with the accommodating space. The frame is provided at two lateral lower sides with a notch each, which communicate with the accommodating space. The two notches are sized for straddling two upper outer sides of a radiating fin assembly, so that the radiating fin assembly with a reduced volume can be upward fitly received in the accommodating space. A cooling fan is downward firmly fitted in the union section. Part of the cooling airflow produced by the cooling fan can flow through the airflow paths to two opposite ends of the radiating fin assembly, enabling upgraded heat dissipation effect.
