Abstract: Dynatron have shown us in the past
that they can innovate, and make rather cool heatsinks.

| Dynatron DC1207BMW Heatsink From
All Angles |
 |
The Fans:
The 70mm fan is rated at 0.2A and
is fairly quiet in operation. The fan attaches through the aluminum fan shroud directly into
the fins. For the size of the heatsink, I would be
tempted to
add something a little bit bigger, and maybe sacrifice some of the noise for better
cooling performance. The Dynatron fan connects via a 3-pin fan header
on the motherboard. On either side of the fan are the
guides where the Stainless Steel clips go. The small tab prevents the
clips from sliding off the side. |
 |
Bare Heatsink:
With the fan removed you can see two things
more clearly. First off, the two clip guides are in direct contact with
the tips of the fins and provide a good means of clipping down the heatsink without large bulky plastic mechanisms. Secondly, we can see
that the fans is held up from the tips of the fins
for better airflow by a few millimeters. |

Side A:
The side
of the DC1207BMW is very plane, with no extra cuts to allow warm air to escape, all exhaust is forced
out the left and right sides. The heatsink body itself is 37mm in height, and 83mm
in length. |
 |
Side B:
Each of the 27 extruded fins tapers from 1mm thick at the
base to about 0.5mm thick at the very top. The fins are
each spaced 1.5mm apart and the base plate is a standard 6mm
thick. |
 |
Heatsink Base:
We've always been fairly picky about the quality of a
heatsinks base, though over time we have to see that almost no manufacturers
machine extruded heatsinks. It is simply much cheaper for them to sand the
base "flat", even though this process tends to leave rather deep
scratches. Still, given the option between this and a raw extrusion base,
the sanded ones are generally better. Raw extrusions, while smooth, are rarely flat.
