    Good enough for eye candy, but not for performance M8! ! :nono:

    But if the eye candy aspect is what you're after, then you're good to go! :thumb:

    thermal conductivities at 20C (w/m-K) are:
    copper (c110) 391.1
    sterling silver 410.0
    pure silver 419.0
    from here
    so it should still outperform copper...

    iirc sterling silver is more prone to tarnish :sigh:

    Would probably give you only a couple of MHZ more, but it looks nice :D
    They make `em for NB too!

    Aquacomputer make really nice looking stuff, i have the same block, but in copper

    That looks awesome. Dangerden has a special Screen Savers edition of their RBX water block that is silver but they say there's only 6 available on their site.
