A heat exchanger for an electronic component of a server

A heat exchanger for an electronic component of a server, the heat exchanger comprising:

• a body configured to be positioned adjacent to the electronic component;
• a plurality of heat pipes extending away from the body for conducting heat absorbed by the body from the electronic component, the plurality of heat pipes being substantially parallel,
• each one from the plurality of heat pipes having a respective plurality of fins extending therefrom;
• a fan for generating an airflow around the plurality of parallel heat pipes,
• the plurality of heat pipes being arranged in rows of heat pipes facing the airflow,
• a first row and a second row amongst the rows being arranged in a staggered configuration such that the first row faces first portions of the airflow and the second row faces second portions of the airflow, the second portions passing between neighboring heat pipes from the first row.
