A computer system includes a power supply unit that provides operating energy for the computer system, a system board connected to the power supply unit and having a multitude of expansion connections for connection of a corresponding multitude of expansion components, wherein each expansion component is assigned a fixed power budget to supply an associated expansion component, a first expansion component connected to a first expansion connection of the system board, and at least one auxiliary supply component arranged in a region of a second expansion connection of the system board, wherein the auxiliary supply component electrically connects to the first expansion component and delivers at least part of the power budget assigned to the second expansion connection to the first expansion component.

Computer system, expansion component, auxiliary supply component and use thereof

An arrangement for a computer system includes a heat-producing expansion card and a cooling device. The cooling device has at least one fan and a hollow body with a first opening and a second opening to cool the expansion card. The hollow body is arranged with the first opening on the expansion card. The at least one fan is arranged on the hollow body in a region of the second opening or is at least partly surrounded by the hollow body by the second opening. The at least one fan produces a flow of air through the hollow body to cool the expansion card.
