A heat sink for dissipating heat from an electronic component comprises a heat spreader and a plurality of first fins and second fins provided thereon. The first and second fins are parallel to each other and arranged in alternating order so as to define a plurality of air passages. The first and second fins are so arranged that thinner air passages and denser fin distribution in the middle along the extension direction of the air passages and wider air passages and lower fin distribution density at two ends are provided.

What is claimed is: 1. A heat sink comprising a plurality of parallel fins, stacked together and defining a plurality of parallel air passages, wherein fin density at two ends of the air passages is lower than the fin density in a middle thereof; wherein density of the air passages at the two ends is lower than the air passages in the middle thereof; wherein the fins include first fins and second fins arranged in alternating fashion, and two opposite edges of the second fins are located between two opposite edges of the first fins along the extension of the air passages; wherein each of the first and second fins forms at least a pair of clamping pieces for locking an adjacent fin; and wherein the fins are located on a base plate, and at least one heat pipe is completely accommodated between the base plate and the fins. 2. The heat sink as described in claim 1, wherein the fins includes a group of first parallel fins defining a plurality of first air passages, and two groups of second parallel fins which are parallel to the first parallel fins and define a plurality of second air passages extending from opposite ends of the first air passages and respectively in communication with the first air passages, the space between the first parallel fins being smaller than that between the second parallel fins. 3. The heat sink as described in claim 1, further comprising separate four groups of parallel third fins arrayed at two outsides of the first and second fins. 4. The heat sink as described in claim 2, further comprising two parallel plates sandwiching the first and second fins therebetween, and two opposite edges of the first and second fins parallel to an extension of the air passages contact the plates. 5. The heat sink as described in claim 1, wherein the second fins are located in a middle of the main extension direction of the first fins. 6. The heat sink as described in claim 1, wherein a tongue extends forward from the clamping piece. 7. The heat sink as described in claim 1, wherein the at least one heat pipe is bent in the form of U-shaped configuration and the base plate defines at least one U-shaped groove conformably receiving the at least one heat pipe therein. 8. A heat sink comprising: a heat spreader into which at least a heat pipe is inserted; and a plurality of first fins and second fins parallelly arranged in alternating order on the heat spreader and defining a plurality of air passages, the first and second fins contacting with the at least a heat pipe; wherein the first and second fins are arranged so that a dense air passages and fin distribution in a middle along an extension of the air passages and a sparse air passages and fin distribution at two ends are provided; wherein the first fins and the second fins are stacked so as to form a fin combination in which adjacent fins are locked together; and wherein the heat spreader has a horizontal bottom face adapted for contacting with a heat-generating electronic component and a horizontal top face, the first and second fins are mounted on the top face of the heat spreader and the at least a heat pipe is horizontally inserted into the top face of the heat spreader and sandwiched between the heat spreader and the first and second fins. 9. The heat sink as described in claim 8, wherein the first fins and the second fins are alternated along a direction perpendicular to the extension of the air passages. 10. The heat sink as described in claim 8, wherein the space between adjacent first fins is smaller than that between adjacent second fins. 11. The heat sink as described in claim 10, wherein the first fins define a plurality of first air passages, and the second fins define a plurality of second air passages out of the first air passages and in communication with the first air passages. 12. The heat sink as described in claim 8, wherein the first fins and the second fins are parallel to each other and alternated in a direction perpendicular to the first fins. 13. The heat sink as described in claim 12, wherein the second fins are shorter than the first fins. 14. The heat sink as described in claim 12, wherein each of the first fins and the second fins forms at least two clamping pieces with tongues for locking an adjacent fin. 15. A beat sink comprising: a heat spreader having a bottom face adapted for contacting with a heat-generating electronic component and a top face in which at least a U-shaped groove is defined, said at least a U-shaped groove conformably receiving at least a U-shaped heat pipe therein; and a plurality of first fins mounted on the top face and contacting with the heat pipe; and a plurality of second fins mounted on the top face, contacting with the heat pipe and inserted between the first fins to cooperate with the first fins to form a fin combination, wherein the fin combination has a dense fin distribution at a middle thereof, and a sparse fin distribution at opposite ends thereof.
