I had hoped to have tested the retail version of the Vantec CCK-6035D on our newest version of the FrostyTech Synthetic Temperature Test platform, but some setbacks have arisin, so we will be testing it out on the current test platform. On a side note, we're very excited about the new tester as it will allow us to test the recent trend of utterly massive copper heatsinks at a much higher wattage - so hot infact we may just melt a few of them ;-)

The fins are each bent on the base so that there is a millimeter or so of material to come in contact with the copper base plate. From the looks of it, the base plate is nice and smooth.

Since the fins are packed so closely together it is difficult to say for sure, but there are no spaces visible that we could see.
