1-14. (canceled)
A cooler for a processor for a CPU or a GPU, comprising:
- a heat sink with at least one exterior cooling surface for cooling the processor, which is a partial surface of one of the heat sink's outer surfaces,
- a duct, which runs through the heat sink, to convey a coolant, and
- a first and a second installation position, the cooler being specifically orientated in relation to the force of gravity in each of the two installation positions,
- wherein the duct has at least one interior cooling surface which is formed as a projection of the exterior cooling surface onto the nearest interface between the duct and the heat sink,
- wherein the heat sink has at least one air reservoir that is connected to the duct,
- wherein the air reservoir is arranged outside the projection lines of the interior cooling surface and the exterior cooling surface and is designed such that, in each of the two installation positions, air and/or gas can be separated into at least one subvolume of the air reservoir and the interior cooling surface is in contact with the coolant.
