Abstract

A graphics subsystem includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a blower, and a heat sink. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is integrated into the PCB. The PCB is shortened to occupy a portion of the width of the graphics subsystem. The heat sink is coupled to the PCB and/or GPU similarly occupies just a portion of the width of the graphics subsystem. The blower is disposed adjacent to the PCB and heat sink and configured to occupy the full height of the graphics subsystem. The blower is further configured to intake air from both the top side of the graphics subsystem and the bottom side of the graphics subsystem. In this configuration, the blower provides an elevated air flow rate in order to facilitate cooling of the PCB and/or GPU.
