Default Homemade Silver heatsink
simple, what if the TRUE was made with 100% pure silver, it would be expensive but if i could find a way to mold it, I can get my hands on some primo Silver ore that can be refined into sterling silver. Silver's conductivity kills Copper's and mix all this together with my ultra-tower cooler idea (think 3 TRUE's stacked on top of each other so that they go outside the case), heat follows the silver heatpipes all the way into a tank of water that is refilled depending on temperature. Idk its still pretty half-baked.

I say just make a TRUE out of silver, and drop the whole water idea.

You plan on buying silver to do this?
How are you going to forge the heatpipes?
How are you going to attach the fins?
How are you going to create the base?

If you can really get your hands on some Silver, then get with Fstfrddy, and get him to make you a Stinger V6 silver edition. It would be the best block ever made!
