Patent ID: 8579016

Claim:
A heat dissipation device dissipating heat generated by an electronic element mounted on a printed circuit board, the heat dissipation device comprising: a supporter; a heat conducting base attached to a bottom side of the supporter and thermally contacting the electronic element; a first fin assembly attached to a top side of the supporter; and a heat pipe comprising an evaporator, a condenser, and an adiabatic section interconnecting the evaporator and the condenser, the condenser being not in a common plane defined by the evaporator and the adiabatic section, the evaporator sandwiched between the supporter and the heat conducting base, the heat pipe extending through the supporter, and the condenser extending in the first fin assembly; wherein the evaporator and the adiabatic section are horizontally disposed on a bottom surface of the supporter, and the condenser is perpendicular to the common plane defined by the evaporator and the adiabatic section.
