Default Ti4800 Stock HS Material

Does anyone know what the heatsink on the Ti4800 Series crads is. It appears to be copper. But I once read a review about some Heatsinks being painted copper when in actuality they were aluminum.

I ask because if it is Cu I'm going to mod it into a WB.

most of them will be aluminium. if you scratch the heatsink you'll be able to tell by the colour of the material underneath
