Abstract
A heat dissipating assembly includes a CPU ( ) mounted on a motherboard ( ), a fan ( ), two clips ( ), a heat sink ( ), two fasteners ( ), a back plate ( ) and two posts ( ). The heat sink includes a base ( ) and a plurality of fins ( ). Two ears ( ) are formed at respective opposite sides of the base. The clips mount the fan to the heat sink. The back plate is placed under the motherboard, and the posts are sequentially extended through the back plate, the motherboard and the ears of the heat sink. The fasteners are retained on the ears of the heat sink around the respective posts. The fasteners are rotated, causing the posts to resiliently press the fasteners on the ears, and resiliently press the back plate on the motherboard. Thus the heat sink is securely attached to the CPU on the motherboard.
