Hello! I should change heatsink on my graphic card and I think that is good time for trying something new. I know that there are copper and aluminum heatsinks. What I do not know is which one is better for graphic card. I mean, which will cool it better. I hope that you have more expiriance about this subject and that you will answer me.

Well, I really do not know what to suggest you. Copper heatsink faster cool, but you should have on your mind that this cooper, also, gets wormer (copper is better conductor). On the other hand, aluminum heatsink is faster but air is warmer and this heatsink is not warm as the other one is. I think that you have to decide on your own.
