Abstract
An electronic cooling assembly includes a heat-generating electronic component and a fan. In some examples the fan includes a housing defining an internal volume, the housing thermally coupled to the heat-generating electronic component, and a plurality of blades disposed in the internal volume. In some examples, the fan housing is thermally coupled directly to the heat-generating component via a thermal paste disposed between the heat-generating component and the housing.
