Just bought an XP2200+...came with a copper base HS

[DieHardware]

I've bought twelve 2200s and a few Bartons in the past month and none came with copper base HSs. Anyone else get one of these? Pretty beefy for a retail HS.

I rma'ed a burnt 2000+ to amd and they sent back a green 2000+ with a nice looking copper base heatsink as well.

An answer to all the complaints on AMD retail HSF??

The Baron 2500+ comes with a nickle plated copper with aluminum fins, why the nickle is used I cannot say.

Cheaper than copper.

Copper will tarnish with heat and time so maybe nickel will protect it
