CU later......first I'm not a nurse maid...find the info like everyone else does ,press "search" button.

Al does not deal in magic and doesn't make heat disappear.....just gives it off to the ambient faster.(That is what I said)

Copper does not create heat......It holds it longer(That is what I said)

Heat conduction is just part of the equation.....how fast that heat is dissipated is the real issue.

I've read and seen the copper sinks vs AL
reviews and can point out to you that they do not perform better than a AL HS. Just look at the design requirements needed to achieve thier desired results....and their cost.

All your "tantrum throwing" isn't gonna change these metals properties. As the discussion relates to HS's .....AL is the one to beat.

There are some papers that even discuss the addition of copper plates to AL heatsinks.
Actually any addition to HS's in the form of shims,spacers and the like, even if they are welded, decrease the effiency of the heat transfer. One piece construction is the best.
This goes to the atomic level of molecular arrangement.

I bring this up because on day the CPU makers may be able to incorperate a Heatsink "on die". This may be made of a silicon or ceramic based material that would effectively be far superior to any "after market" ambient HS app. It would be part of the chip construction and therefore be connected to the heat source molecularly.

This would make CU vs AL look like caveman shit.
