What kind of metal are heatsinks usually made of? Can they be made from magnetizable material? Will it cause interference?
The thing is, I have some sheet metal (steel) that I want to turn into small homemade heatsinks. they will be glued onto my pci chips and any chips that get too warm for my taste... I already know what to do, but the question in my head is the material?
What's a good, yet not so expensive metal to use to construct heatsinks from? Best conductivity? last long? workable yet strong?
thanks...
