Abstract
A heat dissipating device includes a heat sink, a fan, and a fixing bracket. The fixing bracket includes a first fixing element and a second fixing element mounted to the first fixing element. An airflow opening is defined in each of the first and second fixing elements. A receiving space communicating with the airflow openings is bounded by the first and second fixing elements, to receive the heat sink. The first and second fixing elements are used to selectively mount the fan.

A heat dissipating device comprising:
- a heat sink;
- a fan;
- and
- a fixing bracket comprising:
- a first fixing element defining a first airflow opening corresponding to the fan;
- and
- at least one second fixing element mounted to the first fixing element, and defining a second airflow opening corresponding to the fan;
- wherein the at least one second fixing element and the first fixing element bound a receiving space to receive the heat sink, wherein the receiving space communicates with the first airflow opening and the second airflow opening of each of the at least one second fixing element, wherein the fan is selectively mounted to one of the first fixing element and the at least one second fixing element.
A fixing bracket to fix a fan on a heat sink, the fixing bracket comprising:
- a first fixing element defining a first airflow opening corresponding to the fan;
- and
- at least one second fixing element mounted to the first fixing element and defining a second airflow opening corresponding to the fan, wherein a receiving space is bounded by the first fixing element and the at least one second fixing element, communicating with the first and second airflow openings, to receive the heat sink;
- wherein one of the first fixing element and the at least one second fixing element is operable to mount the fan.
