A K-shape is defined by the second fin body 231, the second extension piece 253, and the expansion piece 251 of each of the plurality of second fins 23. An obtuse angle is defined between the second extension piece 253 and the expansion piece 251 of each of the plurality of second fins 23.

[0020] FIGS. 5-6, show a third heat sink 30 in accordance with another alternative embodiment. The third heat sink 30 includes a plurality of third fins 31. Each of the plurality of third fins 31 includes a third fin body 311, two third bent parts 313 located on a top edge and a bottom edge of the third fin body 311. Each third bent part 313 includes a third bent piece 3131 extending from the third fin body 311 and a third extension piece 3133 diagonally extending from the third bent piece 3131. A right-angle triangle is defined by the third bent piece 3131, the third extension piece 3133, and a part of the third fin body 311 of each of the plurality of third fins 31.
