Abstract
Some embodiments of a method, apparatus and computer system are described for vortex generator enhanced cooling. The computer system may include a housing and an apparatus. The apparatus may include one or more vortex generators coupled to a heat spreader and positioned in close proximity to an electronic component, and a flow of air to provide for an exchange of thermal energy, where the flow of air is provided by a configuration of the housing, and where the one or more vortex generators may promote turbulence to enhance the exchange of thermal energy of the electronic component. In some embodiments, an air mover may be used to increase the flow of air in the housing. Other embodiments are described.
