There are only two reasonable materials for a CPU heatsink; copper or
aluminum. Copper is better than aluminum, but more than twice as heavy and
a LOT more than twice as expensive. Silver is the best metal of all, but is
even heavier and more expensive than copper. Solid diamond is, of course,
the best, but...

The Intel retail, boxed heatsink is either solid aluminum or aluminum with a
cylinder of copper sweat fitted into a central hole in the heatsink. So
your heatsink is all aluminum.
