Heatsinks arent nickel plated for its effeciency in transferring heat, but more for the excellent base quality than can be achieved with a nickel electroplated finish, ensuring a better contact area with the cpu heatspreader. Another reason is that it just looks sweet when its got a dark and shiny nickel finish.

I accept with information: Multiple components within a computer generate excessive amounts of thermal energy, which must be removed to prevent damage. Items such as processor, video card's GPU/RAM, motherboard's chipset, memory, or hard drive are all generally dependent on air cooling mechanisms to remove this heat.
