Anyone know about copper heatsinks and the different kinds of thermal pastes, I'd sure like to cool down my proc using them...

They make the best heatsinks and fans ever. My all time fav. is the PCI fan.

Pretty slick.

here's another PC based cooling source... I have 2 pairs of the Cache Cooler fans on the way and a tube of their heatsink compound. I wish I had room for the Arctic Circle in my 8500, but the P/S shelf is in the way.

I really deosn't make much sense to have a copper heat sink where you have enough space to use aluminum. The speed of heat transfer increases when either the the medium that the heat is transfering through is more heat conductive, or the crosssection increases.

This is why you will often see heat sinks that are thick at the base but tinner near the top. You can get the same effect of an copper heat sink by using a thicker heat sink. Aluminum is also easier to cut and is cheaper.
