Thanks, I didn't know about the copper heatsinks with variable fans as I tend to deal in used "budget" type items. There is very little I have in my life that is top of the line.

There are "standard" solid copper heatsinks. ThermalTake makes the Volcano 7+, which is solid copper AND has a variable speed fan (the Volcano 7 has an auto speed control while the 7+ doesn't though, odd...). Someone posted a link to the rather odd heatsink at ThinkGeek that appeared to be all copper.

I do agree that solid copper is probably more expensive, but those costs are just passed on to the consumer. If you're willing to pay more, you get more. That's usually how the system works.
