Abstract

A heat dissipation device for dissipating heat from a heat-generating electronic element includes a heat sink for contacting with the heat-generating electronic element, a fan placed on the heat sink for providing an airflow through the heat sink and two wire clips. The fan comprises a frame. Each wire clip comprises a V-shaped main body and two locking parts at two opposite ends of the main body. Middles of the main bodies of the two wire clips are securely attached to two lateral sides of the heat sink by two screws. The locking parts of the wire clips are fastened to the frame of the fan, with the main bodies being deformed and pushing the fan toward the heat sink.
