The aspect ratio on the fins is too big for it to be cast, though the texture on the surface is like that of some cast parts.
I have seen heat-sinks that are extruded (probably not this one), some have the fins bonded into the base. It is hard to tell from the pictures, can you try using a macro setting to get a clear picture of the fin root?
Edit: Raul beat me to it!

They showed me a new item and said "we don't know how to list this on the inventory." I took one look, started laughing and said "In my world that is called a game piece, aka, a tote." - RoboMom [more]
