Nickel or Copper?

[thezakarum]

Hey,

This is probably a noob question but what is the difference between nickel and copper performance wise?

Is nickel priced higher because it looks better, for example?

Or does either last longer than the other?

Also, some of the graphic cards full cover blocks I've been looking at use copper too, and I've also heard that you shouldn't mix metals.

So does this mean that if I get a full cover block made from copper I need to get a copper cpu block?

Thanks in advance for clearing things up for me.

No difference performance wise.

As a rough rule, don't mix aluminium with anything else, though there are ways round this.
