ABSTRACT:
A clip for securing a heat dissipator to a computer central processing unit is disclosed, including an elongated body made of an elastically deformable material, having a central section to be placed on a top surface of the heat dissipator and two end sections extending from the central section and inclined relative to the top surface of the heat dissipator to define therebetween gaps for accommodating elastic deformation thereof. A vertical extension is provided on the first end section, having a side cutout to define a hook having a side opening for laterally moving into engagement with a first sideways projection on a socket to which the central processing unit is mounted. The second end section has pivotal pin holes formed thereon to respectively receive two limbs extending from two ends of a U-shaped member so as to allow the U-shaped member to be freely rotatable relative to the second end section so that by having the hooked end of the first end section engaging the first sideways projection of the socket and elastically deforming the clip body against the top surface of the heat dissipator, the U-shaped member is allowed to rotate relative to the second end section to engage a second sideways projection of the socket so as to secure the heat dissipator and the central processing unit to the socket.
