alright so im not all that rich so i want to make my own waterblock. but i cant get any access to copper very easily (like the bar) so i was wondering if an aluminum block would work at all near the ability a copper block would? thanks if you can help and for reading this.
 
It would work ok, but how are you going to machine it, and how are you going to stop corrosion?

To be honest if you're doing it to save money pick up a $25 TC-4 or Spiral.
 
itll work within about 5c on average (of mostly everything people have tested anyway)

No dealing outside the classifieds. Even if it were freebies. -eobard

If everything in the system is aluminum and no brass and copper you shouldnt get any corosion.
