Abstract:
A circuit board includes a heatsink configured to be coupled to the circuit board via a first coupling mechanism, the first coupling mechanism providing an asymmetrical downward force for coupling the heatsink to the circuit board. The circuit board further includes a second coupling mechanism configured to provide a counter force to the asymmetrical downward force of the first coupling mechanism. The counter force can be configured on an overhang portion of the heatsink that does not cover a circuit on the circuit board.
