I don't like to fight, I just don't like to see people misapplying (sp?) science.

For example, you still think that the emmisivity of aluminum makes it a better fin material than copper.

If your heatsink had no fan, and was in space, it would.

But your heatsink has a fan, and is here on earth (hopefully) where radiation of heat is a much smaller factor.
