I don't know about that. There might be enough surface area, but there's not enough contact between the pipe and the fins to transfer heat efficiently. Have you considered soldering them to the pipe?

Keep in mind the Reserator is much more solidly built and it can't even keep system temps on par with stock aircooling.
