Patent ID: 7969743

Claim:
A heat sink assembly for a chip of a circuit board, comprising: a heat sink comprising a conductive board to contact the chip and a plurality of fins extending up from the conductive board, the heat sink defining a hole through the plurality of fins and the conductive board, wherein the heat sink is operable to dissipate heat from the chip; a temperature collecting module comprising a sensing portion and a signal transferring portion, wherein the temperature collecting module is inserted into the hole of heat sink and the sensing portion contacts the chip in response to the heat sink being mounted on the circuit board, the sensing portion of the temperature collecting module senses temperatures of the chip and generates corresponding analog signals; and a display module directly mounted on the heat sink and connected to the signal transferring portion of the temperature collecting module, wherein the signal transferring portion of the temperature collecting module transfers the analog signals to the display module, the display module receives the analog signals and converts the analog signals into digital signals, and then displays the digital signals.
