Dynatron DY1206BH-625 Heatsink From All Angles
The Fan:

The Delta fan here is 25mm thick and spins at 6800RPM so it is a good source of airflow and quite noisy. The fan grill is important to save fingertips and keep errant cables from being sucked in. Since the fan just sits on top of the aluminum fan shroud you can upgrade to a 38mm fan if you have long enough screws. The fan draws 0.48A so it should be okay to connect directly to the motherboard.

Side A: With 36 copper fins each measuring 62x30mm there is a fair amount of surface area to use for cooling the processor. The aluminum fan shroud is attached with some crimps and works well to protect the thin copper fins from potential damage. Each fin is interlocked with the next to ensure stability and a correct spacing of just over 1mm.
Side B:
The clip uses all three teeth on the socket for firm support. This also lessons the chance that one of the plastic teeth may break off since the load is shared evenly. A small flat head screwdriver is all that is necessary to engage or remove the socket clip. The fins do not make contact with the clip in the region of the two pathways which are about 5mm wide.
Side B:

The fins appear to be one with the copper base plate but this is not the case. The sides of the base are just slightly raised - probably to keep the solder in the correct area - and this hides the joint. The copper base plate is 6mm thick and undercut 3mm on three sides for what appears to be socket cam clearance. Each fin is spaced 1mm apart and measures 0.2mm thick.

Heatsink Base:

A nice shiny base is always a good thing, but a flat base is even better. This heatsink scores very well in that regard with a nice flat base. One should always use a small amount of thermal compound on heatsinks such as this. Too much thermal compound will actually lesson the effectiveness of the heatsinks ability to cool.
