The heatsink itself is all copper with 26 tall fins which are clearly soldered to the bottom. The heatsink is just under 2 inches tall while the fins are 1 5/8 inches tall and 2 3/8 inches long.The heatsink is enlosed in an aluminum copper colored sheath which is riveted to the heatsink, so you can't take it apart without doing possible damage. But then, why would you want to and it really isn't necessary.
In the above picture(click for larger version) you see the other side where the heatpipes end at and also the back of the heatsink and the clip. Now about that clip. As I mentioned in the HHC-002 review that clip makes for by far the easiest heatsink install you'll find. At least for any I've tried. And no tools required, just connect the back clip on the motherboard catch, ease the heatsink on the cpu core then gently press on the large "pivoting" front clip and guide it on the catch. Real easy. With this heatsink though Coolermaster made sure the clip stays in place more by adding in little cage riveted to the bottom but has 4 small clips(see pic below) keeping the clip nearer the bottom. I had no problems with the other but perhaps some did so they added in this just in case.
Below is of course the bottom and again Coolermaster made sure the bottom is smooth and polished and without any visible deformities. Running your fingers over the bottom it does feel smooth and using a magnifying glass I saw no small cracks or crevices. Also below you have another look at those mysterious heatpipes. But what is in them? Some type of thick heat-transferring fluid I assume.
