My two main objectives were to have the least number of production steps,
and a design that is easy to adapt. Also had to use pure Silver.

Not sure how accurate it is, but the webpage below lists the thermal properties of hard
and soft solder. All of which have abysmial numbers.

Always knew solder was inferior, but that is much more than I expected. Makes one
wonder how efficient the bond on pre-made offerings like Thermalright etc are at
thermal transfer.
