A heat dissipating device for cooling a heat-generating electronic device,
includes a heat sink assembly (10) and a fan (20) mounted to a side of
the heat sink assembly. The heat sink assembly includes a heat spreader
(12), a plurality of fins (14), and heat pipes (16) thermally connecting
the heat spreader and the fins. The fins include at least one fastening
fin (146). The fastening fin includes a pair of mounting tabs (1462). The
mounting tabs of the fastening fin are oriented towards the fan for
mounting the fan on the heat sink assembly. The fastening fin functions
not only for dissipating heat into a surrounding environment but also for
connecting the fan to the heat sink assembly.
