I believe the first series of Hydras were shipped out with the heatsinks of the Sols.

A few months after the Hydras introduction it started shipping out with the slimmer heat sink like the Vegas.

I have to one with the bigger heatsink.

Here is a pic w/ a chapstick for a size reference.

Hope this helps
