Abstract

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a multi-slot add-in card having a second air mover stacked with a first air mover. The add-in card has a heat sink. The heat sink has fins. The fins extend into a first path of a first air flow and a second path of a second air flow. The first air mover is to generate the first air flow and the second air mover is to generate the second air flow.
