Quote:I could come up with only 3 reasons why nickel is used on the bottom of heatpipe heatsinks:
Nickel bonds very well and having a nickel bottom would protect the surface, prevent oxidation,
and diffuse the heat. Since nickel retains heat longer, the heat will spread over a larger area
which spreads it evenly across the heatpipes so you don't have just one or two doing all the
work. I don't know if this is actually the case, but it makes sense to me (unfortunately, so
does beer flavored ice cream).
