Claims1
A CPU cooling structure of the type comprising a heat sink adapted to absorb heat from a CPU of a host computer and a fan adapted to dissipate heat from said heat sink, wherein said heat sink has a flat recess in a flat bottom wall thereof, a thermoelectric cooling panel fitted into said flat recess, and a metal contact plate bonded to said flat bottom wall to seal said thermoelectric cooling panel and adapted to contact the CPU to be cooled;
- a control circuit is electrically connected to said fan and said thermoelectric cooling panel and adapted to control the operation of said fan and said thermoelectric cooling panel, said control circuit having a power cable for connecting to power circuit means of the host computer in which the CPU cooling structure is installed to obtain power supply from the host computer for said fan and said thermoelectric cooling panel.
