Abstract
A fastener ( ) securing a heat sink ( ) and an electrical fan ( ) to a CPU ( ) includes a pressing frame ( ), a pair of activating members ( ) and a pair of locking members ( ). The fastener cooperates with a retention module ( ) to receive the heat sink and the fan therein. The activating members are pivotally attached to opposite lateral sides of the pressing frame. The locking members are pivotally attached to the activating members. When the activating members are upwardly and inwardly rotated, the locking members rise accordingly. Thus the locking members pressingly engage with the retention module, and the pressing frame firmly presses the fan. The heat sink is thereby firmly secured to the CPU with the fastener.
