Dynatron DC1206BM-S Heatsink From All Angles
The Fan:
The small 60mm fan is really under powerd for the level of cooling we are asking of it, but it is relatively quiet. However, the noise of the air moving through the fins, is quite loud so the savings are lost. The fan connects via a 3-pin fan header on the motherboard and supports RPM monitoring.

Heatsink Top:
Curiously, Dynatron didn't use a circular cutout when punching the fan shroud. In any case you can see the three lines of skived heatsinks which form the basis of the Model S. Each fin is 0.3mm thick and comes to a knife edge at the very tip - lowering resistance to the air flow from the fan.

Side A:
The side of the Model S is dead plan. There are no extra cuts to allow exhaust air to escape from the sides as well as from the left and right. The fan shroud is held in place by four small screws.
Side B:
The skive fins are nice and straight and if you count them, you'll see that there are a total of three rows of 40 each. The fins are 0.3mm thick and spaced 1mm apart. The base plate is 7mm thick. There is 4mm of space between the base of the fan and the tips of the fins - pretty standard really.
Heatsink Base:
I'm really starting to like this preapplied thermal compound. For users who don't have the good stuff this sure beats applying the goo unevenly onto the core or base of the heatsink. We measured the base of the Model S and found it perfectly flat - which is to be expected from the machining operation.
