A heat dissipation device includes a base (10), fins (40), two plates (30), a post (50), a pair of heat pipes (20) and a fan (60). The fins are spaced from each other and defines a plurality of air passages therebetween. The plates are positioned at opposite sides of the fins. The post is perpendicularly engaged in central positions of the fins and the base. The post is coplanar with the base at lowest surfaces. The heat pipes have central segments (22) engaged in the base and end segments (24) sandwiched between the plates and the fins. The fan is positioned to the plates and in communication with the air passages.
