TopFlow, as its name suggests is a CPU cooler which is a top-down style heatsink as opposed to a tower design which is much more common. A top-down type CPU cooler provides a distinct compromise for better clearance since it is lower profile. With the heatsink width being significantly thinner this means less heatpipes pass through the fins and thus performance is likely to be lower than a dual-tower cooler. TopFlow’s heatsink design means that when the cooling fan is attached airflow will be directed towards the motherboard and chipset.

TopFlow heatsink is 171mm x 137mm x 100mm (L x W x D) in phycial dimensions and uses a total of 53 aluminium fins which are nickel plated.





The fins which make-up the heatsink are jagged and stacked in close proximity. Their alignment profile are not flat as you would expect with a cooling intended to be attached but rather towards the centre they bow into a valley shape.

Through the stack run four heatpipes which are eight mm in diameter. These heatpipes run to a copper baseplate which as the picture below shows is partly reflective with a mirror type finish.





Attaching the fan to the TopFlow heatink is very easy. The fan clips simply slot into the grooves which run along the edge and provide a rather secure method of fixing the fan to the product.
