Abstract: A heat dissipator assembly for abutting against a heat-generating element includes a heat dissipator and a heat conductor. The heat dissipator has a base. The top of the base is provided with a plurality of heat-dissipating pieces, and the bottom of the base has an accommodating trough. The heat conductor is accommodated in the accommodating trough of the base. The periphery of the heat conductor is provided with a plurality of exhaust channels. Via the above arrangement, when the heat-conducting base is connected with the accommodating trough of the base, the air originally existing in the accommodating trough is pressed by the heat conductor and then is exhausted through the exhaust channels provided on the periphery of the heat conductor. In this way, the heat conductor can be connected with the accommodating trough of the base tightly, thereby enhancing the heat-conducting effect thereof.
