The baseplate

Dear customers,

since there have been some questions regarding the material of the CPU-cooler baseplates, here is some short information. There have been rumors around, that Scythe is using aluminium due to cheaper prices - this is just plain wrong. 
Due to its high susceptibility to oxidation, copper tends to change the surface colour during the long transport from the factory to our distributors. There is no satisfactory way to avoid this optical change. Because of this, all Scythe CPU coolers produced from the beginning of 2008 have a baseplate still consisting of copper, but they are now nickel-plated.
