Abstract: Squirrel cage fans have a couple of benefits over standard vaneaxial fans when it comes to lower-noise heatsinks, though they don't tend to deliver nearly as much air.

Coolermaster ASBV73U1 Heatsink From All Angles
The Fan:
Air is taken in from the sides of this fan, not the top as with traditional brushless fans. The fan draws up to 1.2A, so power comes from a molex pass through connector. A single wire three-pin fan header connector brings the RPM signal to the motherboard.

Heatsink Top:
With the fan removed we find the fan shroud extends only a few millimeters up from the tips of the copper skived fins. Small sections of the skived copper fins are cut away on either side to accommodate the clip. The tips of the skived fins have been machined flat as well. A large three-prong clip is tool free and really easy to engage thanks to the thumb grab.

Side A:
The heatsink measures almost 110mm in height. Air is drawn into the fan from this side and then exhausted out through the base area. The fan shroud is made of aluminum and anodized to appear as if it is copper as well. The build quality of this heatsink is evident through the nice tight joints at the corner of the shroud which is screwed firmly into the copper base.

Side B:
The copper base is nearly 7mm thick, and the copper fins which have been cut from the same material measure 0.5mm thick. There is no solder joint since the fins and base are one and the same. Each of the 26mm tall fins are spaced 1.3mm apart.
Heatsink Base:
The base is undercut 1.5mm for socket cam arm clearance. The base measures 70mm x 68mm in size and has a sanded finish which is smooth, but not shiny. Base flatness is very good on this particular heatsink. Again, notice the cuts in the base to give clearance for the clipping mechanism.
