hey guys, I see you are hot on this one.. Now I thought this was kind of simple.
CU conducts better(collects heat better, but releases it slow)
Al disepates better(Does not collect heat as good but releases it fast)
Silver- well I spend that.
According to your application, one may be better than the other.
For plain HSF I would use AL
If you had Identical heatsinks. one AL and one CU, the AL would probaly do better with a regular fan. But the CU would probaly do better than the AL with a delta 38.
I think thats why most manufacters are going with CU/Delta 38, for the best performance.
For anything hvy duty I would use CU/With H2o
with H2o disepation is not an issue.
It's just that plain and simple. Maybe I'm wrong but I think this makes sense.
At least thats what all of you KNUCKLE HEADS have been telling me.
Go ahead and flame me, I'm an old fart that owns a chilcare center with 45 kiddies, so guess what I think about your flame?
