| 20100134982 | MEMORY HEAT DISSIPATING STRUCTURE AND MEMORY DEVICE HAVING THE SAME - A memory heat dissipating structure clamped on a surface of a memory module includes two heat dissipating plates and two uniform temperature plates. The uniform temperature plate includes first and second surfaces. The first surface of the uniform temperature plate is attached to an internal side of the heat dissipating plate, and the second surface of the uniform temperature plate is attached to the memory module. At least one heat dissipating body is installed on the memory module and clamped between the two heat dissipating plates and the two uniform temperature plates. The heat dissipating body includes a base and heat dissipating fins extended from the base. The base forms a straight section attached onto the second surface of the uniform temperature plate. The two heat dissipating plates are clamped and fixed by fixing elements. The structure of the invention can improve the heat dissipating effect of the memory module. | 2010-06-03 |
