Abstract

Abstract A CPU heat dissipating apparatus including a metal PC board, a heat sink welded to the metal PC board, and a fan installed in the metal PC board and disposed within a circular center opening on the heat sink wherein the metal PC board has a plurality of radial welding points, and a printed circuit, the printed circuit including a fail-safe circuit for the protection of the fan. The heat sink has a plurality of radial flanges radially and alternatively spaced around its circular center opening at two different elevations and welded to the welding points of the metal PC board, and a plurality of holes and notches on the radial flanges for passing the electronic components and conductors of the printed circuit to separate them from contact with one another.
