and bear in mind that aluminum, being a stronger metal, can be thinner than copper. So there's more to it than just comparing thermal conductivity pound-for-pound. We build ship hulls out of heavy steel, not wood. Just looking up the densities of those materials wouldn't explain why.

We resist aluminum partly because of that raw appeal copper has, on the chart, but mainly because of it's incompatibility with existing copper components. Copper is the qwerty keyboard of water cooling.

Let's all stick with qwerty.
