yep, i took that into consideration :), im just gonna be plating my c6 copper heat sink. gonna cover up the set screw hole. and if the module hole gets tighter, il just sand it till its cut back to size. but i am sure that wont be necessary

hmmm, well non the less its not gonna make any difference to heat exchange then is it. im still going to do it. it will look nice, and prevent corrosion on copper heatsinks.

adding nickel + gold on copper will not reduce the heat conductivity but increase it as it getting more mass. in theory heat conductivity will add on.. not reduce when more material is added on. and like you said, its a microscopic layer. so even if it doesnt increase thermal efficiency it will...

many computer components are gold plated as well as nickel plated. theyre not only for look.. if its got no benefit. then why would they do it.

painting it black would create thermal insulation between the heatsink and the paint... unless you used a thermal paint if there is even such a thing. i could use silver plating since it has higher specs than copper. but i am doing gold for looks, to prevent oxidation, and to increase latent...

what you talking about? im talking about thermal conductivity, not current or resistance.

nope. not plated anything yet, i am waiting on my nickel ammonium sulphate to arrive so i can begin the nickel plating process, only then can i do the gold plating process... i will post pictures up once i have done it.

more heat absorption, quicker heat dissipation. more mass even though its minute the latent heat capacity of the material is increased significantly as two types of materials are introduced, no airflow needed to get rid of heat. gold will throw away the heat more efficiently. my aim here is to...

and thats true, i in fact have water blocks on my cpu and gpu, and are all nickel plated copper.

the nickel is needed as it acts as a barrier between the gold and copper.. the oxidation from copper will come through the gold and show up as orange/brown dots. you dont want that. the nickel plating will not make a huge difference to its thermal conductivity as gold is then added on top to...

Hello everyone, now i know my rep is low. dont let that trouble you... i am purely making this topic to know if anyone might be interested on getting their copper or aluminum heatsinks gold plated? why? because gold has an extremely high thermal conductivity, its shiny, and its... GOLD. my...

will you ship to UK? if so how much. i am interested in the 1550mA driver, also are there any pictures? id like to see it before i buy it :P

actually i do take advice from people... when did i not? i managed to build my first laser by taking advice on here. i also sorted out a running issue on my laser by taking advice on here. just because someone gives me advice, and i dont reply to it by saying "thank you", it doesnt mean i dont...

yeah i know, but im just saying. it would make my life a lot easier. im having trouble setting up my laser pointer the way i want it. and ive already destroyed 3 diodes and a few drivers.. this would help me tons. but if he doesnt want to make some extra cash and help a guy out, then so be it...

oh well i took it in a different way.... just when he said "willing" i thought he was meaning i have some, but i am not selling you it.... plus i dont see how my reputation can even affect buying stuff from your or anyone in that matter, dont you want to make extra cash? this is ridiculous...

why not? your saying that as if im a threat to people :\

hey rhd, i dropped you a pm dont know if you got it or not, but do you still have the 1.6A mosquito module for sale? if so. i will buy it as soon as possible.... which would be in 2 days when i get my student loan through.

so do you think ive damaged the driver? :\

nope, it wasnt heatsinked at that time. but i never ran it for more than 30 seconds at one time... always switched it off and let it cool down.

i know, ive not done that.
