Wow great details. Good images. Ebay link still exists.

A few quick questions.

1) Per an article on heat dissipation and metals it notes that copper is about 2x the conductivity of aluminum. See: https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/which-metals-conduct-heat-best/. Do you know of any copper heatsinks that are similar in size, that is, 10x10x10mm.

2) Do you know of any heatsinks that are taller, that is, 10x10x100mm? And do you think this would this cool even better than 10x10x10mm?

3) Do you recommend 10x10x1mm thermal pads as well? For example, this product (100Pc 10x10x1mm Silicon Chip Thermal Pad Heatsink Conductive Insulation Paste HU) http://www.ebay.com/itm/100Pc-10x10x1mm-Silicon-Chip-Thermal-Pad-Heatsink-Conductive-Insulation-Paste-HU-/221949052694?hash=item33ad31c716:g:qwsAAOSwwE5WUzNb
