Default heatspreaders?

why dont they make the heatspreaders on intel and amd chips with copper, it would drop the cpu temp a great deal for what it would cost

IHS, not heat spreader...


what your asking for is why dont they use copper on the Integrated HeatSink?

simple: they do.... watch what happens when you lap an AMD 64 processor

hehe... I'm pretty sure there is a reason why those IHS's are the way they are.. the higher clocked A64's can get quite hot, so if they didnt do that right.. i doubt we would see many of them running atm
