silver heatsinks

There have been heatsinks containing silver.
The Noisecontrol Silverado had a circular slug of silver at the bottom to transfer heat, and a couple have been silver plated to minimal effect.

The silver slug may be slightly better, but its not really worth it considering how close to copper it is.

Silver also has a lower resistance than copper, yet we dont see our powerlines made from it!
