Abstract

A heat dissipating device for CPUs includes a dissipating device mounted on a CPU and having a transverse groove near either lateral positioning end, the transverse groove having a depth greater than a groove between every two adjacent dissipating plates of the dissipating device. A first positioning strip is bent to have a substantially vertical portion having a hook end for engaging a securing substrate of the CPU and a substantially horizontal portion having a slanting portion with a tongue for engaging one of the transverse grooves. A second positioning strip also has a slanting portion with a tongue for engaging the other of the transverse grooves. The second positioning strip further has a notch for engaging an indentation of a connecting element that comprises a substantially vertical portion with a hook hole for engaging the securing substrate of the CPU.
