It should perform fine. I will need to test to be certain.
I believe most heatsinks are nickel plated to combat corrosion (ie. it doesn't rust nearly as easily as other metals)

I'll be doing Kickstarter for it at some point, hopefully around the time of Computex.
As long as SFFn gets a review sample

sorry to be the child tugging the shirt of the parent, but would there be a TR4/20XX version on the kickstarter? ._.
This will depend very much on the tooling and production costs to make the swappable baseplates for TR4/2066 as well as the provision of compatible mounting hardware for these socket being already manufactured by my manufacturer of choice. Tooling costs and production volumes for the entire TR4/2066 baseplate and mounting solution will likely be prohibitive initially, but if I only have to pay for copper baseplate tooling then it may be manageable.
My primary uses for the heatsink (ie. the reason I made it in the first place) are 1151/AM4 and MXM. Because the MXM unit can (likely) use the same baseplate as the 1151/AM4 heatsink, merely repositioned, I am hopeful that all I will need to do to make this model work is design a modified mounting kit. 2066/TR4 will obviously require a much larger baseplate and beefier mounting to be as fully effective as possible.

I keep forgetting about this and Josh keeps reminding me so I always end up coming back to check in on this and now that I'm finally posting in here I'm subscribed .Lol
Awesome. Hoping to have four prototypes with various material and pipe combinations (copper vs all, 2 vs 3 pipe, etc) ready in mid to late march. Unfortunately the fabricator for my heatsink fins has a 35 business day turn around (we're around day 10) and we'll still need to have assembly done once those parts arrive.
Beta testing likely won't happen (the prototypes average about 1500 USD each), but once I finalize the design and find a manufacturer I trust I will be prepping for a Kickstarter and/or launching presales of SFFlab.com
Just wondering if there was a imminent announcement regarding KS campaign or trusted manufacturer found… ? Not wishing to exert pressure - just keen
Cheers
Couldn't get a satisfactory assembly jig made, so we're getting a bunch of 1.6mm shims made instead. Has added about 3 weeks to the timeline unfortunately as turnaround times were less than ideal on these parts : /
Thanks for getting back to us and update on status - CheersJust wondering if there was a imminent announcement regarding KS campaign or trusted manufacturer found… ? Not wishing to exert pressure - just keen
Figured out a better method for getting the solder to work. Will be re-attempting assembly in the next week or two.
