Here's a quick run down of the specifications :

Fan Dimension 60 x 60 x 25 mm
Rated Speed 3000 - 6800 RPM
Air Flow 16.13 - 36.11 CFM
Rated Voltage 12 VDC
Heat Sink Dimension 60 x 60 x 29mm
Rja (C/W) = 0.54 - 0.64 (FC-PGA)

Now without further ado, we can get down and dirty with the HS/F.

Click To Enlarge Here we can see that the fan, which has the potential to spin at 6800 RPM, has a guard on it. I have stuck my finger in a 6800 RPM fan before, though not on purpose, it still was not a pretty sight.

Click To Enlarge Now as we flip it over there is a nice sticker on the bottom warning us to remove before use.

Click To Enlarge The base is perfectly flat. As we stated before there were some machining marks on the bottom, but that doesn't seem to make a difference here. Cooler Master did a wonderful job.

Click To Enlarge Here you can see the front of the fan. Note the holographic Cooler Master sticker.
