    Are they magnetic? Ni is. I believe they are just tinned Cu. Some will have some indium solder on the bottom.

    Very interesting. They do seem to have a slight stick to them when touching a magnet. I didn't initially detect it while it was still in the heat sink. Does this mean that it is nickel? also, any idea what category of copper this should be in? I was told to throw them in with my copper /aluminum fin heat sinks for the same price but I'm not sure if this is correct.
