Thus, the amount of heat generated rises in direct proportion. If the rate of CPU heat dissipation is insufficient, the computer operating stability will be affected. As a result, the most direct and easy solution for solving the problem of CPU overheating is to use a heat sink to dissipate the high temperature produced by the CPU.

[0004] The conventional fastening structure for a heat sink currently available has two mainly type. As shown in FIG. 1A, that is constructed of rivet joint 1a with drilling of heat sink 1. Due to the requirement of drilling and location, the cost of manufacture is high, that is not only size of diameter and strength of material, but also high thermo resistance of rivet joint 1a to cause negative effect on the rate of heat dissipation by heat sink 1. Besides, the procedure of rivet joint 1a for heat sink 1 is complex, and resulting not only being not disassembled, but also wasting material consumption when drilling. As shown in FIG. 1B, that is constructed of fastener with being composed of a clip 11, a drilling 13 and a fastener 12 for heat sink 1. Due to the requirement of drilling and location, the cost of manufacture is high. Please referring to FIG. 1C, that is obvious advantage with no drilling, however, it is inconvenient to use upright force 14 and side force 15 at same position for assembling and disassembling of heat sink operation. Wen-Chen Wei, U.S. Pat. No. 6,404,635, Heat sink device fastening structure, that is also inconvenient to use force at same position for assembling and disassembling of heat sink operation.

[0005] In view of the various disadvantages of conventional heat sink in terms of fastening structure, the present invention addresses the disadvantages by researching solutions for them which, following continuous research and improvements, culminated in the development of the improved fastening structure easy and convenient both for assembling and disassembling to heat sink operation of the invention herein, a structure capable of eliminating the numerous drawbacks of the conventional technology.

OBJECT OF THIS INVENTION

[0006] Due to the continuous development of computer technology and the enhancement of integrated circuit production technology, CPU execution speeds are always increasing. The heat sink will be attached to the CPU to dissipate the high temperature produced by the CPU, Thus, the fastening structure for a heat sink is to be of great urgency.

[0007] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide high efficiency of heat dissipation, fastening structure easy and convenient both for assembling and disassembling operation and low-cost manufacture of fastening structure.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide heat sink for assembling and disassembling operate in coordination with a first radian claw, a second radian claw and a reinforcing loop.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Specifically, the present invention provides a fastening structure to provide a heat sink for assembling and disassembling, characterized by said fastening structure being a material of elasticity comprising a controlling member and a motioning member, wherein said controlling member is composed of a reinforcing loop, a operational portion of controlling member and a first radian claw, said a motioning member buckling up said controlling member is composed of a operational portion of motioning member and a second radian claw, said heat sink for assembling and disassembling operate in coordination with a first radian claw, a second radian claw and a reinforcing loop.
