ABSTRACT:
A computer adapted for force-air cooling of a processor. The computer includes a board supporting the processor and a heat sink mounted such with its base plate contacting the processor. A primary mount supports the heat sink near the processor, and a portion of the heat sink base plate extends outward a distance or overhang length from the primary mount to an edge. The apparatus includes a secondary heat sink mounting assembly supported upon the processor board that includes a damping element with an resilient body positioned proximate to the edge of the base plate, whereby the body abuts the base plate during movement of the base plate toward the board, e.g., upon application of a dynamic or shock load that causes the overhanging portions of the base plate of the heat sink to vibrate or oscillate about the support locations of the primary mount.
