Abstract

A cooling apparatus includes a base, a plurality of first heat pipes, a plurality of second heat pipes, a plurality of first heat conducting columns and a plurality of second heat conducting columns. Each of the first heat pipes and the second heat pipes respectively has a heat-absorbing terminal. The heat-absorbing terminals of the first heat pipes are disposed on the base spaced at intervals. The heat-absorbing terminals of the second heat pipes are stacked above the heat-absorbing terminals of the first heat pipes spaced at intervals. Each of the first heat conducting columns is installed between the heat-absorbing terminals of the two adjacent first heat pipes. Each of the second heat conducting columns is installed between the heat-absorbing terminals of the two adjacent second heat pipes. Thereby, the heat conducting area is increased within the base, and the cooling efficiency of the cooling apparatus is enhanced.
