Heat dissipation system having releasable attachment assembly

摘要

A heat dissipation system for a heat generating electronic device includes a releasable attachment assembly for removably securing a heat sink to a heat spreader plate thereof includes at least one spring clip for biasing the heat spreader plate into a secured engagement with the heat sink. The spring clips are adapted to allow easy engagement and/or disengagement of the heat sink from the heat spreader plate, thereby facilitating the use of variously configured heat sinks as part of the heat dissipation system.
