Abstract

The invention provides an expansion card adapted for a motherboard, in which the motherboard includes a first slot, and the first slot is located at a surface of the motherboard. The expansion card includes a circuit board, a heat-dissipating module and a supporter. The circuit board includes a connecting interface configured for being inserted into the first slot of the motherboard. The heat-dissipating module is disposed at a side of the circuit board and has a bottom surface. When the expansion card is inserted into the first slot, the supporter is disposed at the bottom surface of the heat-dissipating module so that the bottom surface of the heat-dissipating module is substantially parallel to the surface of the motherboard.
