Warm Tek Also Shows off "Pangolin" Heatsink Design Concept
The next big heatsink design at Warm Tek is called Pangolin C1-6. Its design stays true to the design principle of the Hedgehog series, in which each individual heat dissipation surface makes direct contact with the CPU, eliminating the need for heat-pipes (Warm Tek calls this seamless direct conduction). While the Hedgehog series heatsinks uses copper rods, the Pangolin C1-6 uses copper sheets which are tightly stacked up at the base, and fan-out upwards. The exposed copper sheets are treated with anti-oxidants at the factory. Like with the Hedgehog, it's purely pressure holding the sheets together, and the heatsink is weld-free. Although designed primarily for fan-less setups, a fan-clip is being worked on.

Zalman did a sink like this about 10 years ago.
They worked pretty well with small fan's in push-pull on either side.
...
But, wth ? At least even the spacing between the sheets.
And I see that while testing the link in this post, that the Humble Indie Bundle 5 is in the Ubuntu Software Center. Nice move.
