Electronic apparatus

Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a casing, a separation structure, a fan, a first heat generating element and a heat conducting module. The casing has an air inlet and an air outlet. An inner portion of the casing includes first and second areas connected to the air inlet and the air outlet respectively. The separation structure is disposed at a border between the first and the second areas to separate the first and second areas. The fan is disposed in the first area adjacent to the air inlet and adapted to provide a heat dissipation airflow. The heat dissipation airflow flows through the air inlet, the first area, the second area and the air outlet sequentially. The first heat generating element is disposed in the second area. The heat conducting module is connected between the fan and the first heat generating element.
