Ok, so heres the discussion.
Read it all please...
(I will constantly be adding more, and giving background info/backup)


there are 4 main heat-sink materials.

• Copper
  
• Aluminum
  
• Copper and Aluminum
  
• Diamond? (let me explain.)

They all have there Pros and Cons.

First up: Copper

Measuring at:
380 W/m*K
making this the 3rd best Heat conductor

Pros.
Copper is supposed to be a GREAT heat conductor. In fact , they put it on the bottom of pots and pans, so they can heat up evenly and quickly. They also let go of heat faster then aluminum.

Cons.

Heavy and more expensive then Aluminum.



Next: Aluminum


Measuring at:
220 W/m*K (pure)
120--180 W/m*K (alloys)
This making it the 5th best heat conductor out there.

Pros.
These are known for there light weight, and cheapness? Also being the 4th best heat conductor (right behind copper, silver, and diamond.)

Cons.
They pick up heat slower then Copper.. this may cause higher temps... so not recommended for major over clocking? (read about it in an article over the internet... ill try to find backup.) Letting go of heat slower then Copper (recently corrected, my teacher was rong) may also be an issue



Now: Copper and Aluminum

Pros.
The hybrid.. Good, and light. and sorta shiny =)

Cons.
Not nearly as good as a full (not 100% because nothing can be 100% anything -.-...) Copper




And soon??: Diamond? (let me explain...)

Measuring at:
900 - 2320 W/m*K
Making this the BEST!!!! over topping the 2nd one by almost 2.5 times, at the least. and almost 5 times, at the most.

Explanation.
I thought of this because I was watching Modern Marvels, and it said that Diamonds are GREAT heat conductors... and how it dissipates heat well.

Pros.
Whats better then Diamond in your case? Show off the latest "Bling". Also it is a great heat conductor, and it fans off easy.

Cons.
Expensive much?

Edit: Minor edit.
Edit: Added Heat absorbing scale.

I heard gold was a good at dissipating heat it's even used in the McLaren F1. It's also very surprising at how well diamond is at conducting heat, I never knew that.

[yuki953]

gimmie something to read up on and ill think of adding it

[pkyourface]

Here this basically lists them off: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity

Im sorry i will change that... i wasnt being literal, i know everything, even 27k gold has a little bit of almost everything in it.

[rayz321]

ok you edited it good
offtopic did you find a link for my rateing boX?

[yuki953]

not yet -.-,

(ontopic)
Anything else, im trying to make a discussion here...

Since this is talking about heatsinks, I was cleaning the dust off inside my computer and the part where the fan blows into had dust in it, I couldn't take off the fan.. it was confusing and felt as if I was going to break it so I decided to stop.

Diamonds are completely unrealistic.

They would probably be under a fan anyways, so showing off any bling would be useless.

The only realistic conductor of heat for a computer is probably copper.

[yuki953]

use a CO2 computer safe canister sold at bestbuy, or fryz, (illegal to buy offline because of preasure(i think))

[pkyourface]

Liquid helium cooling would be amazing considering its 6x colder than liquid nitrogen.

[yuki953]

lol, the diamond thing was talking about diamond dust into the metal... not literal FULL ON diamond. also thermal paste made of Diamond dust...
