Do heatsinks conduct electricity? » well ive asked a few people and have got different answers. if i put one across some circuitry would it stuff it up and makle it short-circuit? thanks for any replies :D the heatsink would be something like the one on this card… Computerforum.com

Which Metal Best Conducts Electricity? | All Metals Fabrication » Electric conductivity is the movement of electrically charged particles. All metals conduct electricity to a certain extent, but certain metals are more highly conductive. The most highly conductive metals are silver, copper and gold. Allmetalsfab.com

Gold Plating your heatsink » Hi guys, i was wondering what your thoughts are on  gold plating your heatsink to improve thermal conductivity and thus cooling performance.   now, im pretty sure this isnt very cost effective and since most heatsinks have a high surface area it would take alot of gold. what im purposing is to just plate half the fins so you can have the advantage of aluminum's rapid heat dissaption, but lower thermal conductivity compenstated by gold's higher thermal conductivy, but slow thermal dissapation. th… Forum.level1techs.com
