    Stainless is extra bad at conducting heat considering it’s a metal, but it’s still way better than plastic. I hope they make an aluminum version at some point.

      Yes, stainless is “bad”, compared to other metals. But like you also mentioned, it’s loads better than plastic.

      I’d doubt they make an aluminum one, it’s probably not worth the tooling.

      When dealing with only 100-200mW, even a small change in thermal conductivity will make a big difference.

        One day the card will be conductive enough for us to complain it’s hot when we take it out
