Abstract
A heat dissipation assembly for dissipating heat generated on a motherboard, includes a clip attached to the motherboard and above a first heat-generating component, and a heat sink rotatably mounted to the clip and thermally connected with the first heat-generating component. The heat sink includes an air outlet. The air outlet is adjustable to face a second heat-generating component of the motherboard via rotating the heat sink, for more effective use of airflow coming from the heat sink to cool the second heat-generating component.
Claims21
A heat dissipation assembly for dissipating heat for a printed circuit board, comprising:
- a clip attached to a side of the printed circuit board that has a heat generating component mounted thereon;
- and
- a heat sink rotatably mounted to the clip, with a bottom contacting the heat-generating component.
An assembly comprising:
- a printed circuit board with a first heat-generating component and a second heat-generating component mounted on a side thereof;
- a clip attached to the printed circuit board and above the first heat-generating component;
- and
- a heat sink rotatably mounted to the clip and thermally connected with the first heat-generating component, the heat sink comprising an air outlet, orientation of the air outlet being adjustable to face the second heat-generating component via rotating the heat sink relative to the printed circuit board.
An assembly comprising:
- a circuit board with a first heat-generating component and a second heat-generating component mounted on a side thereof;
- a heat sink configured to dissipating heat from the first heat-generating component, the heat sink comprising a plurality of parallel fins, a passage being formed between every two adjacent fins and having an outlet;
- and
- a clip fixed to the circuit board and configured to secure the heat sink to the first heat-generating component in such a manner that the heat sink is rotatable relative to the clip to adjust orientation of the outlets to face the second heat-generating component.
