Protective device for protecting thermal interface material and fasteners of heat dissipation device

A heat dissipation device assembly comprising:

• a heat dissipation device comprising:
• a base having opposite top and bottom surfaces;
• a plurality of fins extending from the top surface;
• a heat conducting plate attached to the bottom surface;
• a plurality of fasteners attached to two opposite lateral sides of the base;
• a heat pipe having a first end sandwiched between the base and the heat conducting plate and a second end connecting with the fins;
• and
• a thermal interface material spread on a bottom surface of the heat conducting plate;
• and
• a protective device assembly comprising:
• a first cover attached to the heat conducting plate and covering the thermal interface material for protecting the thermal interface material from contamination;
• a second cover separated from the first cover, attached to one of the two opposite lateral sides of the base and covering the fasteners at the one of the two opposite lateral sides of the base for protecting the fasteners thereat from dropping from the base;
• and
• a third cover separated from the first and second covers, attached to the other one of the two opposite lateral sides of the base and covering the fasteners at the other one of the two opposite lateral sides of the base for protecting the fasteners thereat from dropping from the base.
