| 1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing;
a first heat-generating member provided in the housing;
a heat-radiating member thermally connected to the first heat-generating member;
a first fan module guiding air to the heat-radiating member;
a second heat-generating member provided in the housing separately from the first heat-generating member;
a second fan module discharging air out of the housing;
a wall section provided in the housing, located between the first fan module and the second fan module;
first temperature sensing means for sensing a temperature of the first heat-generating member;
first rotation control means for controlling rotation of the first fan module in accordance with a sensing result of the first
temperature sensing means;
second temperature sensing means for sensing a temperature of an inside of the housing; and
second rotation control means for controlling rotation of the second fan module in accordance with a sensing result of the
second temperature sensing means.
