Abstract
A CPU heat sink mounting structure including two heat sink fasteners fastened to a heat sink and a CPU holder at two opposite sides to hold them together, each heat sink fastener including a clamping plate having a vertical screw hole disposed in vertical alignment with a vertical through hole in a transverse channel at one side of the heat sink and a coupling hole disposed outside the heat sink and forced into engagement with a retainer block at one side of the CPU holder, a screw bolt slidably inserted into the vertical through of the transverse channel and threaded into the vertical screw hole of the clamping plate, and spring means mounted in the transverse channel of the heat sink and imparting an upward pressure to the clamping plate and the screw bolt.
Claims4
A CPU heat sink mounting structure comprising:
- a heat sink fastened to a CPU holder to carry a fan and to hold down a CPU in said CPU holder, and
- a first heat sink fastener fastened to said heat sink and a second heat sink fastener fastened to said CPU holder to secure said heat sink to said CPU holder, two retainer blocks are raised from two opposite vertical lateral sides of said CPU holder to receive said heat sink fasteners, wherein:
- said heat sink has a first transverse channel disposed at a first side thereof, and a second transverse channel disposed at a second side thereof, each said channel includes a though hole in a top side thereof;
- each said heat sink fastener comprises a clamping plate having a screw hole disposed in alignment with said through hole of the corresponding transverse channel, each said heat sink fastener further comprises a coupling hole disposed outside said heat sink, said coupling hole engages the corresponding retainer block of said CPU holder,
- a screw bolt is slidably inserted into the through hole of each said heat sink fastener and threaded into the screw hole of said clamping plate, and
- each said heat sink fastener further includes a spring means mounted in the corresponding transverse channel of said heat sink, said spring means imparts an upward pressure to said clamping plate and said screw bolt.
