    The Fan:        
             The larger fan is made 
      by Delta and draws 0.48A so 
      it should be okay on most motherboards current wise. To play it safe it 
      is just as easy to hook up the fan via 
      a Molex pass through cable and connect it up to the main 
      power. The fans on both sets of heatsink are held in place by 
      wire clips as you can see in the photo. |

    Heatsink Top:     With 
      19 fins machined from a solid block of aluminum the thermal properties of the aluminum 
      should be very uniform. Each fin measures 1mm thick, and is spaced 2mm apart from one 
      another. At first glance the Tocools Crown employs a pretty standard cooling method. The 
      real trick happens where the fins make contact with the base 
      of the heatsink. Rather then just meeting the base plate at 90 degrees, 
      the base angles up at the center to form a 
  peek. |

    Side A: The side profile of the heatsink is quite 
      plain except for the extra cutouts on the edges of each 
      fin. The extra surface area can't hurt, and since the heatsink is 
      largely cut from a solid block the outside faces are smooth. Shown is the 
      clip which broke off during installation. The fan is held in place with wires and 
      this works well. The mounting clip really ought to be redesigned and redone.

    Side B:   The business side of the Crown looks 
      good, and works well. Even though the 
      heatsink is hampered by a less than ideal clip, the underlying heatsink is really well 
      done, and works well for an extrusion. Note how the metal clips lock 
      into the fins and hold the 25mm thick fan in place. Each of those 
      side cut-outs is about 4mm in height. |

    Heatsink Base:      
         Like the Zalman heatsinks the base is very well finished 
      (though not as razor sharp) and provides an excellent place to mount any 
      processor to. I'm frankly getting a bit tired of commenting on poorly finished 
      bases, so it was great to see that the Tocools engineers had 
      gotten things right here. The base is undercut by 2mm to 
      provide socket cam arm clearance. |
