No, I haven't found one if that was your first thought. But how's that idea sound?
According to http://news.ncsu.edu/releases/wms-kasichainula-cooling/ graphene/copper composites have better thermal conductivity properties than pure copper.
So after seeing heatsinks such as the Coolermaster TPC-812 (the vapor portion of the heatpipes is intriguing) in my quest for a new HSF I figured I'd see if anyone has heard of any graphene based heatsink.
I'd think a copper/graphene alloy for the plate and pure graphene fins would be a great combo (also pretty sexy if it was matte black/burgundy)
But the question really comes down to heat transfer from metal to air, so how is graphene in that regards?
all of this was sparked from seeing this:
