A heat-dissipation unit includes a base, at least one heat pipe, and a locating structure. The base has a first face, on which at least one channel is provided. A coupling section is formed on the first face at joints between the at least one channel and the first face. The heat pipe is set in the channel, and the locating structure is correspondingly fitted in the coupling section. In a method of manufacturing the heat-dissipation unit, the locating structure is molded between the at least one heat pipe and the base through a mechanical process, so that the at least one heat pipe is firmly held to the base in a highly efficient assembling manner with largely reduced time and labor to thereby enable reduced manufacturing cost.
