Abstract
A CPU radiator holding mechanism. The mechanism includes a pressure-bearing unit, a pair of holding-down clamps, and a seat for holding a radiator to a main board above a CPU. The radiator is formed from radiating fins and is provided at a top thereof with a receiving recess for receiving the pressure-bearing unit therein. The holding-down clamps are provided with hooks for engaging with receiving holes provided on the seat. The radiator is connected to the seat by pressing the holding-down clamps against the pressure-bearing unit and engaging the hooks of the holding-down clamps with the receiving holes of the seat, such that any pressure applied by the holding-down clamps onto the pressure-bearing unit does not cause any deformation of the radiating fins of the radiator.
