A clip () securing a heat sink () includes a pair of spaced V-shaped main bodies () respectively received in grooves () of the heat sink. A pair of spaced wings () extends outwardly from opposite ends of each main body. The wings are slanted slightly upwardly. A hook () is formed at a free end of each wing. Each hook has a V-shaped profile. The wings are wider than the hooks, for facilitating manual operation of the clip.

Clip for heat sink

A heat dissipation device includes a heat sink ( ), a metal plate ( ), and a clip ( ). The heat sink has a chassis ( ) with thermally conductive material ( ) applied thereunder. The metal plate is attached to the material in order to be in thermal contact with the chassis. The metal plate is then directly attached to a CPU ( ). The clip is engaged with a socket ( ) that supports the CPU, to facilitate the metal plate intimately contacting the CPU. The metal plate prevents the CPU from moving from the socket should the heat dissipation device be accidentally moved or displaced. This reduces any risk of damage to the CPU. In addition, heat generated from the CPU is efficiently removed.
