At least you do not distance yourself from bitchie .... you 2 are one and the same .... but like I said, if you find heatpipes difficult, leave it to those that don't. You do not have to throw in your 2 cents into any and everything all the time, mostly with your ignorance.

For starters, my suggestion was a self moded copper heatsink, and I speak WITH experience here as I have a few aluminium slab + copper fins heatsinks that I made myself. The fins were made from split copper tubes and attached to the aluminium using screws and heatpads. Whether it costs more or not, you have no way of telling and therefore are not in a position to add any value to the conversation, thus has nothing to do with you.
