Abstract
An electronic system includes a component that heats up during operation and an acoustic dampening air moving assembly. The acoustic dampening air moving assembly includes air moving blades, a motor, a support structure and a housing. The motor is attached to the air moving blades to rotate the air moving blades. The support structure supports the motor and the air moving blades within the housing. The housing and the support structure at least partially include a material selected for its acoustic dampening characteristics. The acoustic dampening air moving assembly moves air to the component to cool the component. The selected material dampens acoustic vibrations within the electronic system.
