Abstract
A cooling system for dissipating heat from a heat source is disclosed. The cooling system comprises a heat sink associated with a divider member. The heat sink includes a heat conductive base portion having a surface adapted to contact the heat source. The base portion has a peripheral wall member extending from the heat conductive base portion wherein the peripheral wall member defines a chamber therewithin and a heat sink device exterior located on the opposite side of the peripheral wall member from the chamber. A plurality of openings extend through the peripheral wall member between the heat sink device exterior and the chamber. An intake airflow path extends from the heat sink device exterior through a first portion of the plurality of openings to the chamber. An exhaust airflow path extends from the chamber through a second portion of the plurality of openings to the heat sink device exterior. A divider member is positioned adjacent the exterior of the heat sink device and separates the intake and exhaust airflow paths.
