Coating using a copper paint?

[xtclocker]

What kind of paint should I get if I want to paint the heatsink for extra coating and I live in Canada, what's the best place to get them? :confused:

that'll reduce the copper potential, worst might ROAST your processor

there are very few paints which are thermal conductive .. but those reaching 200++ deg celcius types .. normally used in heat transfers 400++ deg and above
but there are many paints which are thermal insulants .. normally used in industrial boilers etc ..

you sure u want to paint your heatsink?

I really wouldn't recommend painting your heatsink. You'd be better off to use your processor to cook eggs and bacon.

+1 to both the above statements.
in general, coating metal on metal will always reduce heat transfer speed (conductivety), not a good idea.

Really, you don't need to be painting a heatsink. Paint your case instead.
Try NCIX for a good selection of heatsinks in Canuckland:D
