Well, sorry, maybe I wasnt extactly clear with the explanation. There will be water contacting the aluminum, since a layer of copper, though it would prevent the need for corrosion inhibitor, would promote the overall heat transfer from the water, to the aluminum fins, but what if i just used aluminum for the base as well? Of course, I would still have a copper block, but that would simplify things with the radiator.
Perhaps an all copper solution would work better though, since if the base was just a cutout, with 2 solid plates on either side, then the aluminum heatsinks on the exterior, that might work even better, and provide a 2 sided solution. hmm...Thanks for the input, Balefire, that is a good idea.
