In fact, the TIM youre using conducts heat way worse than this nickel layer..

Btw any TIM suggestions? Lately i was using noctuas NT-H1 but im not really satisfied, its very thick. In the past ive used MX-2, AS5, Zalman but im thinking to go back to AS5.

Why deliberately lose anything at all, even if it is very small. You can't see the bottom once installed, so why spend the money and take a thermal hit, no matter how small? Makes no sense.
Very nice looking. I believe this would look great under the UV lights in my case. I painted the inside of my case flat black, so shiny stuff would stand out really well.

Good to know

Those blocks look so good nickle plated. Personally, I don't care for the way the heatkiller 3 looks, but these plated ones look awesome.

Yeah you would never see the bottom. Plus it looks trick that way

Not sure that would be an issue. They are pretty close together on the Galvanic Corrosion Charts. A little corrosion inhibitor would take care of it, but I'm betting it won't be needed. I have to go to work so I do not have time to finish my research. Maybe you have time to do some?

Greg.M has no access to his PC just now. When, the other day, he tryied to remove/install his blocks it turned out that they had sent him the wrong parts and the CPU block didnt fit on the socket.
So his PC is now in parts waiting for its installation
He is in contact with the supplier to arrange for replacement.
