Tocools S1 From All Angles

The Delta fan used here is 80mm in size and protected by a fan grill. The fan draws 0.51A and rotates at around 4000RPM. The fan connects to the motherboard via a standard three-pin motherboard fan header. There is just 1.5mm of clearance below the fan, and above the *square tips* of the fins.

Top: With 17 fins machined from a solid block of aluminum, the heatsink is blocky in appearance. Fins are roughly 1mm thick, and are spaced 2mm apart. Looking at the heatsink we can see just six small cross cuts of no more than 1mm thick. It is hard to see these having any large effect on the exhaust flow inside the heatsink.

Heatsink Base:

The base has been machined perfectly flat, and is very smooth. I really whish more manufacturers would take the extra effort and mill down the base of their heatsinks.. In the end, the consumer can use less thermal compound allowing the heatsink to work more effectively.
