Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a circuit board having heat generating components thereon. The electronic device further includes a heat sink with air current generating electric device assembly, disposed over the circuit board, through which heat from the circuit board and the components thereon is released. The heat sink with air current generating electric device assembly includes a heat sink having a solid central core and a plurality of fins protruding from the core. The heat sink with air current generating electric device assembly further includes an air current generating electric device disposed over the heat sink and having an air intake facing a top of the heat sink and an exhaust opening directed parallel to a plane of the circuit board.
