Decided to go around harvesting all my chunky copper bits while the price is up.
A lot of Cu/Al heat sinks aren't worth dismantling even with current prices(IMO).
But a lot are worth it especially the sever heat sinks that are 100% copper.
I cut the chunky copper out with a combo of chisel/hammer or the circular ones I use my hydraulic press.
The ones with heat pipes/fins soldered on, after torching the heat pipes off, I use the wire wheel on my bench grinder to remove the solder from the plate.
I have like 100 other things I should be doing but I don't know when I'll see copper at this price again so I'm just making hay.
