    Copper vs Aluminum issue for heatsinks

    Here's an enlightening article which debunks the theory that many have had about aluminum giving up heat better than copper.

    Good find,

    The new hedgehog heatsink is of a layered construction and this may explain,although it beats an Alpha,the difference is small.
    Also explains why my sterling silver plate on a heatsink didn't cool as well as I expected.
    Do you know of a place that sells small copper water jackets(for water cooling)?
    Looking for 2 1/4 in.x 1 3/4in.
    Thanks
