    I'm afraid I'm going to have to side with Matah on this one. Copper is better for cooling capabilities.

    No, sorry, silver does have greater thermal conductivity too. It's just too expensive and inconvenient for heatsink production, since it's rather soft (for metals).
    Thermal conductivity Ag (silver) [/W m-1 K-1]: 430
    Thermal conductivity Cu (copper) [/W m-1 K-1]: 390
    Note: The higher the value, the better.
    Sources:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity (Article on thermal conductivity)
    http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/Ag/key.html (Information on silver)

    Specifically on the subject of heatsinks:
    (For the record, gold is actually worse than copper)

    You spent way too much time proving you're right.

    How come the best heatsink available is ALUMINUM?
    And there's alot more to with a heatsink than just the material. If the thermal paste is applied properly, even a silver heatsink wouldn't do anything. By the way, when was the last time cooling mattered or even existed to a non-enthusiest?

    They pick aluminum because it cheaper and they can use than larger heatsink to equal the silver or copper one. In the more expensive computer which cost alot more than average computer they use silver heatsink. Gold is use as than heatsink in jetengine due to it not getting corrode as easy as copper or silver and aluminum.

    No most high end computers don't use silver, actually, nobody really does. I use 2 pounds of copper and aluminum and a Thermaltake SMCII to cool my cpu, and I consider my computer to be high end.

    Re: reply

    You should have been here when we were debating whether tuna fish is better prepared with mayonaise or Miracle Whip. Now those were good times.

    Aye tomato sauce is way better. Also tuna fish contains extrem amounts of protein so it is very good to eat if you wish to build big bulging biceps. (pull out your picture nobodie)

    Also cooling matters, especially when it does not work say for my firend here the other day, his cooling went died on him, his computer stopped working, he was without a okay comp for two days, cooling matters. You will miss it so much when it is gone.

    What are you people, retards? Mayonase is the best. Miracle whip has killed infants and caused cancer in lab rats.

    Who cares about rats? They were created by all-powerful gods so that we can poke them with needles and test out make-up on them. *oogles bunny with eyeliner on* Mayonaise is the essence of the gods, didn't you know? It's the spooj of the gods. The Holy Fluid. Oh, and I do a fair bit of mild modding, and I've never heard of a silver heatsink... this is the only thing I could find relating to the matter, besides using Arctic Silver thermal paste.
    Oh, and incase you're wondering, that's from here.

    Your computer isnot hight end the most. There is than sciencist who have than water cool silver heatsink on his PC at worked with than 4Gighert plus
    computer chip. He built it himself and it worked.

    Supercomputer are cooled by liquid nitrogen on the jefferson juntion what ever that is.

    Hey tomato sauce is proved to have an very posetive effect against cancer, especially against throat cancer. Also it tastes better than mayonase when you are eating tuna fish. then you can also add a little chilli to spice it up.
