Copper vs. aluminum - Page 3

yeah, now almost every newly released heatsink that performs worth a damn has copper in it

Wow where'd this shit spring back up from.

I thought we buried this long ago

Brad · 01-16-2002, 03:08 PM

hehe, either way, it is a decent thread

why not make a copper base heat sink (cuase copper is more dense) THEN attach that to AL fins! to get rid of the heat faster? cuase it's like more holy n stuff.

Both of best worlds.

I like Zalman heatsinks, they are pretty and they are quite.

What like a swifty MCX462?

As for Al fins - they're for weight, dissipation is the same between Al and Cu.

bump, carbon foam kicks silver, copper, or aluminums butts. problem is it's porous good for heatsinks bad for waterblocks

cabon foam

more importantly it costs some serious dollars. I think it would be fine to use in the channels of a water block though

Stuck in thread, coincidentally.

If someone reads the whole posts today, he/she will indicate that all the story is related with some area/weight ratio and some thermal conductivity. Cu "became" the future in HSFs. Sure. Of course. Certainly. Easy to understand "now".

How is that "easiness" possible in only 1-2 years? Is it increase in knowledge, technology or just evolution
