Abstract
A memory module assembly includes a plurality of memory modules and a heat sink assembly. Each of the memory modules includes at least one heat source. The heat sink assembly includes a heat dissipating plate and a plurality of heat transfer mediums. Each of the heat transfer mediums includes a base attached to the heat dissipating plate, and at least one resilient sheet extending from an end of the base. The base and the resilient sheet define an included angle which is non-right angle so that the resilient sheet can snugly clip to the respective heat source.
Claims4
A heat sink assembly comprising:
- a heat dissipating plate defining at least one first slit and at least one second slit therein;
- and
- at least one heat transfer medium including a base, a fastening portion, a first connecting sheet extending from an end of the base and a second connecting sheet extending from an opposite end of the base;
- the first connecting sheet being inserted into the first slit for reaching to a first heat source of a first memory module;
- the second connecting sheet being inserted into the second slit of the heat dissipating plate;
- the fastening portion disposed on the first connecting sheet to firmly attach the base to the heat dissipating plate;
- wherein the first and the second connecting sheets are both resilient and outwardly biased so that the first and the second connecting sheets is able to be placed in between the first memory module and an adjacent second memory module comprising a second heat source facing the first heat source, and snugly clip to the first and second heat sources respectively.
