The mainboard unit 92 is disposed on the right side plate of the cabinet 91 (positive Y direction) and extends downward from the bottom of the top cover of the cabinet 91 (negative Z direction) to the top of the power supply unit 96. The mainboard unit 92 includes a processor component 921 and a memory component 922 disposed on the right side plate of the cabinet 91. The independent graphics card unit 93 extends from the back side plate of the cabinet 91 (negative X direction) to the front side plate of the cabinet 91 (positive X direction).

[0003] The liquid cooling unit 94 is disposed on the bottom of the top cover of the cabinet 91 and above (positive Z direction) the independent graphics card unit 93. The liquid cooling unit 94 is mainly used for heat dissipation of the processor component 921 and the memory component 922. The heat dissipation units 95 are respectively disposed on the front side top of the back side plate of the cabinet 91, the bottom of the liquid cooling unit 94, and the back side of the front side plate of the cabinet 91.

Each of the heat dissipation zones 112 has a plurality of front (positive X direction) and rear (negative X direction) extending and left (negative Y direction) and right (positive Y direction) spaced heat dissipation gaps. It is noted that the number of the heat dissipation zones 112 is not limited to three, and can be one, two, four or more, depending on the actual heat dissipation requirement. The heat dissipation gaps are not limited to front and rear extending and left and right spaced, and can be left and right extending and front and rear spaced, or other implementation forms which are helpful to heat dissipation.

The lower rear side plate 110 has a plurality of heat dissipation holes 113 which are in communication with the lower space 130 and the outside of the casing 1, and a power line port.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mainboard unit 21 is disposed in the upper space 100, specifically, the mainboard unit 21 is mounted on the left side of the support unit 103.

The independent graphics card unit 22 is located on the left side of the mainboard unit 21. The independent graphics card unit 22 can be configured with a built-in heat dissipation assembly, for example but not limited to at least one fan. The liquid cooling unit 23 is disposed in the upper space 100, specifically, the liquid cooling unit 23 is mounted on the bottom side of the top cover 101 and located above the independent graphics card unit 22. The liquid cooling unit 23 is mainly used for heat dissipation of the mainboard unit 21.

[0037] Referring to Figure 2 ,Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the number of heat dissipation units 24 is four sets. The first set of heat dissipation units 24a is installed on the bottom side of the liquid cooling unit 23 and includes three fans positioned corresponding to the heat dissipation area 112 of the top cover 101. The fans are used to guide the air in the upper space 100 to flow out of the casing 1 through the heat dissipation area 112 of the top cover 101. The second set of heat dissipation units 24b is installed on the front side of the upper rear side plate 106 near the top cover 101 and includes one fan. The fan is used to guide the air in the upper space 100 through the heat dissipation holes 113 of the upper rear side plate 106 (see...). Figure 3 It flows out to the outside of the casing 1.

[0038] The third set of heat dissipation units 24c is installed on the left side of the support unit 103 and includes two fans arranged vertically. These fans guide air from outside the housing 1 into the upper space 100. The fourth set of heat dissipation units 24d is installed on the top side of the upper partition 104 and includes three fans arranged front to back. These fans guide air around the housing 1 through the side slot 120 and through the heat dissipation holes 113 of the upper partition 104 (see reference). Figure 6 The air around the casing 1 can flow into the upper space 100 from the side slot 120, and then flow out of the upper space 100 under the guidance of at least one of the heat dissipation units 24, so as to quickly remove the heat generated by the discrete graphics card unit 22 from the upper space 100, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation of the discrete graphics card unit 22.

Figure 3 An external power cord is used to supply power to the entire host unit. The heat generated by this power supply unit 25 can be dissipated through the ventilation holes 113 of the lower partition 108 (see...). Figure 3 The water flows out of the lower space 130 and then outward from the side groove 120, or directly through the heat dissipation holes 113 of the lower rear side plate 110 (see...). Figure 3The heat generated by the power supply unit 25 flows outwards, therefore, the heat generated by the power supply unit 25 will not affect the heat dissipation of the discrete graphics card unit 22. The hard disk unit 26 is located at the front of the lower space 130, therefore, the heat generated by the hard disk unit 26 will not affect the heat dissipation of the discrete graphics card unit 22.

[0041] In summary, the independent graphics card cooling chassis of this utility model, through the design of the side slot 120, allows the air around the chassis 1 to flow into the upper space 100 through the side slot 120, and then flow out of the upper space 100 under the guidance of at least one of the cooling units 24, so as to quickly remove the heat generated by the independent graphics card unit 22, thus achieving the purpose of this utility model.

[0042] Moreover, the heat generated by the power supply unit 25 can flow out of the lower space 130 through the heat dissipation holes 113 of the lower partition 108, and then flow out to the outside of the casing 1 through the side groove 120. Therefore, the heat generated by the power supply unit 25 will not affect the heat dissipation of the independent graphics card unit 22, so it can indeed achieve the purpose of this utility model.

[0043] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims and description of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of this utility model.
