Yes, it is. It is better than aluminum, but not as good as copper. Aluminum is often used in heat sinks, though, because it is cheaper than gold or copper.

Is gold insulator or conductor?
Gold is a really good conductor. Technically, because gold is an excellent reflector of infra-red it can be used as thermal insulation.
What would be an example of a good thermal conductor?
Graphene is the best thermal conductor. Any metal or metallic objects such as a frying pan would be a good thermal conductor, including diamond.
Is gold a good conductor or a good insulator?
Gold is a good conductor of electricity.
What is a thermal conductor metal?
Good thermal conductivity is characteristic of the metals. Some of the best conductors are silver, copper, gold, aluminum, nickel and iron. Please see the link.
Why is silver a good thermal conductor?
Silver is a good thermal conductor as it's a metallic element with many free electrons available for heat transfer.
Is gold a conductor or insulated?
Gold is a really good conductor. Technically, because gold is an excellent reflector of infra-red it can be used as thermal insulation.
Is gold insulator or conductor?
Gold is a really good conductor. Technically, because gold is an excellent reflector of infra-red it can be used as thermal insulation.
Which is the best conductor of heat between gold and lead?
When we consider the two elements gold and lead, we find that gold has a (ball park) thermal conductivity of about ten times that of lead. If you guessed that gold is about ten times as good a conductor of electricity as lead (based on the information presented regarding thermal conductivity), you'd be on target. In general, thermal and electrical conductivity both "track" from metal to metal. Good electrical conductors are generally good thermal conductors.
Can heat move easily through a good thermal conductor?
Yes, that is what "good thermal conductor" means.
What would be an example of a good thermal conductor?
Graphene is the best thermal conductor. Any metal or metallic objects such as a frying pan would be a good thermal conductor, including diamond.
Is gold cunductor of heat or electricity?
Gold is a good thermal conductor (looks like only copper and silver are better - see engineeringtoolbox dot com) Gold is also a good electrical conductor. Copper and silver are a little better, though.
What is a good thermal conductor?
steel
Is gold a good conductor or a good insulator?
Gold is a good conductor of electricity.
Is gold a good conductor?
yes, gold is a very good conductor
A material that is a good thermal conductor would?
A material that is a good thermal conductor would hold in a lot of heat. These thermal conductors would also transfer heat easily.
What is a thermal conductor metal?
Good thermal conductivity is characteristic of the metals. Some of the best conductors are silver, copper, gold, aluminum, nickel and iron. Please see the link.
What material is good for a thermal conductor?
fabric
