Abstract
A thermal module (10) includes a housing (12). The housing includes a contact portion (20), a receiving portion (22) and a fixing portion (24). A fan (18) fixed to the fixing portion of the housing generates airflow toward the receiving portion. A heat sink (14) is received in the receiving portion of the housing. The heat sink has a plurality of fins (36) defining a plurality of slots (38) therebetween, and an end surface (32). A first angle (.theta.) is defined between the end surface and any of the fins. A second angle is defined between the end surface and a direction of a substantial proportion of the airflow. The first angle is substantially equal to the second angle. Thus the slots are substantially aligned with the direction of the airflow. A heat pipe (16) is attached in the contact portion of the housing and the heat sink.
