| Most heatsinks that are a hybrid copper/aluminum don't really gain anything from this. Part of my job entails testing different heatsinks and designs to see how the work. However the additional thermal junction created by inlaying copper into aluminum negates any gains from using the copper in most instances. Now in a design like Swiftech uses of a copper base with aluminum pins this works very well and gives the best of both worlds. So just because it has copper in the CPU die area; doesn't mean it will perform better. Anyway these are just some thoughts I thought you may benefit from. Keep up the good work. |
