Abstract

A heat dissipation device includes a heat spreader for thermally engaging with a heat generating electronic device, a heat sink assembly located above the heat spreader, and first and second heat pipes connecting with the heat spreader and the heat sink assembly. Each of the first and second heat pipes comprises an evaporation section engaged in the heat spreader, two arc-shaped condensation sections thermally inserted in the heat sink assembly, and two connecting sections interconnecting corresponding condensation sections and the evaporation section. The condensation sections are coplanar with each other and located in a same circle. The condensation sections of the first heat pipe extend in a clockwise direction, while the condensation sections of the second heat pipe extend in an anticlockwise direction.
