Abstract
A CPU heat dissipating apparatus including a radiating panel attached to the top side of a CPU to hold a fan between two opposite upright side walls on the radiating panel, and a mounting frame fastened to the CPU to hold down the heat sink, wherein the mounting frame has two short downward hooks respectively hooked on two opposite mounting grooves on two opposite upright side walls of the radiating panel, two long downward hooks hooked on the border of the CPU to tightly secure the radiating panel to the CPU, and two oblique finger plates for moving by fingers to deform the mounting frame for permitting the long downward hooks to be hooked on or released from the CPU.
Claims4
A CPU heat dissipating apparatus comprising:
- a) a mounting frame including a pair of first opposite sides and a pair of second opposite sides, the first and second opposite sides being connected together around a border of the frame, two short hooks, each short hook extending downwardly from a first opposite side, two long hooks, each long hook extending downwardly from a second opposite side, and two finger plates, each finger plate extending outwardly from a second opposite side and disposed above the long hook;
- b) a radiating panel including upright sidewalls at a pair of opposite sides corresponding in position to the short hooks of the mounting frame, a mounting groove formed on an outer side of each upright sidewall, a fan bearing portion formed on an innerside of each upright sidewall, and a plurality of parallel radiating fins disposed between and in parallel with the upright sidewalls at an elevation below the fan bearing portions;
- c) a fan for mounting between the fan bearing portions of the radiating panel;
- and
- d) wherein during assembly of the apparatus, the short hooks are hooked on the mounting grooves on the upright sidewalls for holding the radiating panel in the mounting frame and permitting the radiating panel to be tightly attached to a CPU when the finger plates are urged inwardly to permit the long hooks to engage opposite sides of the CPU and be secured thereto upon release of the finger plates.
