Abstract
A heat sink assembly includes a heat sink ( ), a frame ( ), a fan ( ), and a fastener ( ). The heat sink has a pair of diagonally opposite vertical poles ( ). An annular step ( ) is formed on each pole at a position higher than a top extremity of fins ( ) of the heat sink. An annular groove ( ) is defined in the vicinity of a top end of each pole. The frame has a central opening ( ), and a pair of apertures ( ) at diagonally opposite corners of the frame. Four through hole ( ) are defined in four corners of the fan. The fastener has two mutually perpendicular fixing arms ( ). Each fixing arm defines a semicircular cutout ( ) at an inner edge of a free end thereof. The fixing arms at the cutouts engage in the grooves of the poles, thereby securing the fan to the heat sink.
