  • Publication number: 20070242436
    Abstract: A heat sink module includes a fan set and a heat sink plate. The fan set is integrated as a whole, reducing manufacture time, and the material of the fan set is plastic, thus reducing the weight as well. Due to the hook design of the fan set and the ear design of the heat sink plate, the number of screws is reduced. Furthermore, the screws pass through the first lug of the heat sink plate and the second lug of the fan set, so that the heat sink plate and the fan set are fixed on the motherboard, and thereby the number of the parts to be fixed by screws is reduced. Heat from the heat source on the motherboard is conducted to the fan set to be dispersed through the heat sink plate extending to the heat source and covering the fan set.

  • Publication number: 20070236887
    Abstract: A heatsink module of heat-generating electronic elements on a circuit board is provided. The heatsink module is used to conduct and dissipate the heat generated by heat-generating electronic elements. The heatsink module includes a heat-conducting substrate contacting the heat-generating electronic elements. The heat-conducting substrate is locked on the heat-generating electronic element by a spring fastening. With die elastic force, the spring fastening can continuously press the heat-conducting substrate, such that the heat is conducted from the heat-generating electronic element to the heat-conducting substrate efficiently. Also, a heat pipe is disposed in the heat-conducting substrate, thus shortening the path between the heat pipe and the heat-generating electronic element for conducting heat, and increasing the contact area and improving the heat dissipation.
