Printed circuit board having larger space for electronic components and contributing to efficient cooling

A printed circuit board unit comprising:

• a printed circuit board having a top surface having a region;
• a fan rotating in a predetermined rotational direction about a rotational axis intersecting with the top surface, to generate a blow;
• a fan cover mounted on the region, the fan being disposed in the fan cover, the fan cover having a wall surrounding the fan, the wall having a discharge opening to discharge the blow generated by the fan;
• and
• wherein the region mounting the fan cover comprises a first reference plane, a second reference plane, a third reference plane and a fourth reference plane, each starting from the rotational axis to a radially outward direction of the rotational axis, in order corresponding to the predetermined rotation direction, the first reference plane being opposed to the third reference plane, the second reference plane being opposed to the fourth reference plane, the first and third reference planes perpendicularly intersecting with the second and fourth reference planes, the second reference plane corresponding to the direction from the rotation axis toward the discharge opening,
• wherein the region mounting the fan cover further comprises:
• a first area ranging between the first reference plane and the second reference plane;
• a second area ranging between the second reference plane and the third reference plane;
• a third area ranging between the third reference plane and the fourth reference plane;
• and a fourth area ranging between the fourth reference plane and the first reference plane,
• wherein the printed circuit board further comprises:
• a first intake opening formed in the first area;
• a second intake opening formed in the second area;
• and a third intake opening formed in the third area, and wherein there is no intake opening in the fourth area.
