Maybe we can get this on a video with Alex. Probably one of my favorite hosts for his love of sketchy cooling and ghettoness.

 

> It's called the rockit copper IHS for LGA 1151. Obviously copper is a better thermal conductor than the other IHS.

The Intel IHS is nickel-plated copper. The aftermarket IHS isn't much better. https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3238-custom-copper-ihs-tested-on-intel-i7-8700k-cpu-rockit-cool

This makes me think...where are our special edition gold-plated IHS CPUs?

Gaming - Ryzen 5800X3D | 64GB 3200mhz |  MSI 6900 XT | Mini-ITX SFF Build

Home Server (Unraid OS) - Ryzen 2700x | 48GB 3200mhz |  EVGA 1060 6GB | 6TB SSD Cache [3x2TB] | 66TB HDD [11x6TB]

Well looking at the gamers nexus results they saw a 5 C drop in temps. They were also using a liquid cooler. I think the system you would see the most improvement from is a SFF air cooled build. For example the NFC s4-mini. Heat is a bear to deal with to any better heat transfer is worth it.
