Design

The VF900-Cu LED consists of two copper heat pipes with a diameter of 5mm which go out of a copper base and curve along the cooler’s perimeter into a full circle.

There are as many as 160 thin copper plates (with a thickness of only 0.2-0.25mm) on the heat pipes. They have contact with the pipes not only with their ends but also through solder (you can see its traces in the photograph). The heatsink is cooled with a fan that has translucent 75mm blades and light blue highlighting.

The cooler’s fan is fastened with two screws to the top and with one more screw to the middle of the heatsink. A small pipe curves around the base of the fan. This is not a heat pipe, and it is made up of pressed-out ends of the thin plates.

As you can see, the cooler’s base is ideally polished and absolutely flat.

I unfastened the four screws in the cooler’s base to have a look under the bottom half where the heat pipes are located, but I couldn’t do so even though I found no more screws. I suppose there is some thermal glue (or even solder) between the two parts of the base and this prevented me from taking it apart.
