Abstract
A heat sink assembly includes an unit and a plurality of fasteners extending through the unit for fixing the unit to a heat-generating electronic component. Each fastener comprises a bolt and a supporting clip mounted on the bolt and located at a bottom of the heat sink. The supporting clip comprises a body and a support extending from the body. When the bolt of each fastener extends through the unit and the body of the supporting clip, a distance between the bottom of the unit and the heat-generating electronic component remains unchanged with the help of the support of the supporting clip.
