Abstract
A computer system includes a motherboard (10 or 50) with at least one CPU heat sink mounted thereon and a chassis (20) for mounting the motherboard therein. The chassis includes a plurality of bumps (23), and a plurality of knockdown standoffs (25). Some of the bumps are under the at least one CPU heat sink, the standoffs are mounted on the bumps under the CPU heat sink for resisting against the motherboard and supporting the CPU heat sink. Some of the bumps are spares adapted for mounting another type of motherboard to the chassis.
Claims10
A computer system, comprising:
- a motherboard, comprising at least one CPU chip mounted thereon and a plurality of securing holes defined therein for mounting a heat sink on the CPU chip;
- and
- a chassis, comprising a plurality of bumps each with a hole therein, and a plurality of knockdown standoffs, an amount of the standoffs being less than that of the bumps, the standoffs being mounted to the holes in the bumps coaxial with the securing holes beside the at least one CPU chip and resisting against an underside of the motherboard for supporting the heat sink.
A computer system, comprising:
- a chassis comprising a panel configured to fit different types of motherboards which have two chips in different positions and a group of securing holes surrounding each of the chips, the panel having fixed thereon a plurality of groups of bumps arranged in different rows, each of the bumps defining a hole therein, and
- two groups of standoffs capable of being selectively removably mounted in the holes of two groups of bumps to align with the corresponding securing holes of the different types of motherboards, the standoffs being resisting against an underside of the motherboard and sandwiched between the two groups of bumps and the motherboard.
