1. A heat dissipating assembly adapted for dissipating heat generated by a plurality of electronic components, the heat dissipating assembly comprising:
a heat sink adapted for absorbing the heat from one of the electronic components;
a fan being mounted on a front side of the heat sink; and
a fan duct being secured to the fan for sandwiching the fan between the fan duct and the heat sink, the fan duct defining an outlet adjacent to the fan and an inlet, the outlet being oriented towards the fan and the inlet being oriented toward another one of the electronic components in a manner such that an airflow produced by the fan flows first through the another one of the electronic components thereby cooling the another one of the electronic components, then into the fan duct through the inlet thereof, and finally through the outlet to flow into and cool the heat sink.
