Anyone know if this is safe?
I have a heatsink which I replaced the copper contact insert on the bottom with a sterling silver insert instead, I know it's a no-go on aluminium, not sure on silver?
edit: managed to find some research on it, looks like it'll dissolve a few percent of the silver before reaching equilibrium at operating temperatures, and form an interphase between the two - shouldn't really be an issue, actually might increase the conductivity....will report back!
