TheseAnd copper isn't just used by those looking to cool down their CPUs. One modder used some copper and thermal paste to bring their card temps down from over
. Thanks to the size of the copper used, this is a much cheaper endeavour than say a giant tower on your CPU, too., which could be great for the future of chips. Gold is another metal that's used extensively thanks to its conductive properties, and thin copper could eventually replace it. Anything we can do to lower costs and reduce rare mineral mining is going to be great for PC gamers.
