Fortis Tech Close up look at the heatsink

Fortis Tech A93 From All Angles
	The Fan: The fan impeller and chassis are made from translucent plastic, but there are no LED's in the unit to make it really stand out. Fan noise is nice and low, though in some cases it may stand out a little inside the system. The fan connects to the motherboard fan header via a 3-pin connector which only supports the RPM monitoring function.
	Top: The aluminum fan shroud is set up to accept either 60mm or 70mm fans as you can see by the pre-tapped holes. The copper fins are held apart with small copper spacers designed to maintain the 1mm spacing between fins.
	Side A: The aluminum fan shroud has a small curve to it and is held in place on the copper base with small crimps.
	Side B: The fins are each 0.2mm thick, and spaced 1mm apart. The clip used on this heatsink requires a tool to engage, and sits freely in the space between the fins. It would have been better if the clip were anchored at the fulcrum to prevent possible slippage once the heatsink is installed in the computer.
	Heatsink Base: We measured the flatness of the base with a straight edge and found it to be a little wavy, but not very much so. Some lapping would improve the situation, but at the very least a good amount of thermal compound should do the trick. On OEM class heatsinks like this it is not often that we find machined bases of high flatness, or smoothness.
