And....

For the water block!

If you've got two identical blocks, one copper and one aluminium, the copper one will come out on top every time. Look anywhere there's a comparison.

copper much better thin aluminum at transferring heat

if they are the same, copper is going to win, no doubt. A well designed aluminum block will beat a poorly designed copper block though.

copper by a landslide.

Copper...

Best material for heat transfer.

Well, most affordable material with the best heat transfer...silver is a bit better, and then there's always diamond (really really good) :)

Yeah, I just ordered a diamond water block. It was a little on the spendy side, but I expect a marked improvement in my cooling. I also look forward to it being delivered in an armored vehicle.

I'd better log off. "Delivered" is starting to look like a surgical process.
