like [USER=27015]@SFFMunkee[/USER] explained it quite well it depends on the requirements. You don't always need copper and/or heatpipes.The original A2000 heatsink is a extruded aluminum profile with skived fins & some CNC work. This is a rather simple and very cost effective solution but it get's the job done. Surely a more complex cooler with copper, heatpipes and fins would perform better but NVIDIA decided that it's not worth the cost increase.For my single slot mod you'll also have to consider a few other points except sheer performance. I'm limited to 13~15mm cooler thickness only and we are speaking of very low quantities plus limited manufacturing capabilities. That being said I'm trying to find a solution that is "reasonably priced" while offering "good enough" cooling performance.
