A CPU cooler is provided for effectively cooling, for example, a CPU chip mounted in a notebook-sized personal computer. An aluminum die casting is equipped with a right portion for covering a CPU package, and a left portion which is coplanar with the right portion and continuous to the right portion, thus forming a fan disposing space. A flat heat pipe is mounted on a bottom surface of the right and left portions and extends linearly. A copper plate is equipped with a first horizontal plate portion for covering the bottom surface of the right portion and the flat heat pipe, and a second horizontal plate portion which faces a second top surface in a height direction and defines the bottom side of a fan disposing space.
