Abstract
A computing device includes: a chassis; a heat generating element connected to a substrate within the chassis; and a heat management system configured to cool the heat generating element. The heat management system includes: a heat conductor that is thermally connected to the heat generating element; two fans configured to discharge air across the heat conductor; and an airflow guide disposed between the two fans in a width direction of the chassis. The airflow guide thermally connects the heat conductor to the chassis.
