Abstract: A fastener (50) includes a pin (52), a spring (54) and a handle (56). The pin extends through a heat sink (10). The handle is pivotably attached to a top portion of the pin. The pin has a foot (522) extending through a mother board (30) and a supporting board (40) located under the mother board to engage with the supporting board. A CPU (20) is mounted on the mother board. The spring surrounds the pin and is located between a base of the heat sink and the handle. When the handle is rotated from a horizontal position to a vertical position, the handle compresses the spring toward the foot. The spring in turn presses the base of the heat sink against the CPU.
