Ali, I think Pete's heat sink examples are not as good as the best modern fan(only) aided heat sinks. Remember we will have a squeezed zone of thermal coumpound that will be on the order of 1/10MM. Make that a high conductivity oxide or silver powder and then pure copper spreader....I have to feel this compares well with Si? Note the spec calls for very well machined flats on the heat sinks....not the extruded near flats of the 486 et al. I think we need to re-educate ourselves about the best of todays fan aided heat sinks plus the new isotopically pure Si 28. Bill
