what is the heatsink material? is it all aluminum or copper core?

The two heatsinks I received are both with copper core.And both had a conducting paste on them. I am using both of them on Xeon E3-1270v2.Cooling is perfect!

I believe the tray and top heater plate are aluminum but I'm not 100% sure.

The heatsink (it looks like a fan) has these little metal arms that actually attach to the processors seating, not the processor itself, but the plastic part it plugs into.

Thankfully the thermal compound is not pre applied on the heatsink. It comes in a little plastic sleeve, seperatly. I would definitely apply the artic silver 5 compound instead of what comes with the heatsink. By the way this closed loop cooler is AWESOME. Lemme know if you have any other questions about it.

It is aluminum. I somehow got some few small dings where it exposes it a little and it is clearly aluminum. If you update to Windows 8.1 you are going to need to download the drivers directly from Acer. I had many bugs and getting the new drivers they are fixed.

It's 1 time usage, cuz it's a form of liquid metal. It turns solid/hard when pc is off. But I have it for 2 years now on a the cpu and it's still there. I would imagine it would last 5+ years if you don't take off the heatsink or unused in syringe. So I wouldn't recommend taking of the heatsink or reappplying the product.

Yes! Be sure to use cpu thermal heatsink grease! "Caution" when using a lower grade cooler failure is at a higher risk!

Not an exact answer, but I'm running Kingston Hyper X Red which has Large aluminum Heat-sinks. No worries

If you read the description then you would know. Its copper clad aluminium. 90% aluminium and 10% copper.

Aluminum. Has held up well so far.Do not unplug by pulling the rubber end. I accidentally pulled the actual electronics from the metal casing.Super-glued it back together, then ran some HD Tune Read/Write test to heat it, to help set the glue. Seems to have worked so far.

HP 418803-001 dc7700 CMT Six Copper Pipe Heatsink and Fan will work fine for this cpu.

As of December 2014 the Amazon description states: "Material: CCA - Copper Clad Aluminum (The top of the cable where the data transfers is copper and the base metal is aluminum)".

May research says it is copper clad steel main conductor. Hard to find solid copper core at this price point.

Yes. It does have a really cheap heatsink.I recommend u should buy a better heatsink . Otherwise this is very good performance processor low heat and fast than core I3

The one in picture #3 is correct. There are holes in the heat sinks to get the hardware in. The first one I ordered only half of the LEDs worked, a replacement one was sent out and that one works fine.

It aint aluminum cuz it melted at around 300'F. Not lead, cuz toxic. My guess is some bismuth / antimony eutectic alloy - but have not tested. But the part came, and fixed my pressure cooker !
