A locking device for locking a heat-dissipating member securely in position on the housing of a CPU is provided. The locking device includes a flexible securing piece which is an integral piece including an elongated flexible middle portion having one end formed into a first fastening portion and the other end formed into a coupling portion. The first fastening portion is formed with a first fastening hole, and the coupling portion is formed with an angled portion and a slot extending from the angled portion to near the hook-shaped portion. Further, the locking device includes a pressable fastening piece which includes a second fastening portion having a second fastening hole; a pair of hook-shaped pieces linked to the second fastening portion; a stopper linked to the hook-shaped pieces; and a press portion linked to the second fastening portion; wherein the hook-shaped pieces and the stopper are coupled to the slot in the coupling portion of the flexible securing piece. An elastic member has a first end connected to the flexible securing piece and a second end connected to the pressable fastening piece. The locking device can be easily and effortlessly mounted on a CPU mount for locking a heat-dissipating member on the CPU mount. It is also adjustable in length so that it can be mounted on CPU mounts of various dimensions for locking a heat-dissipating member on the CPU mount.
