I can't freeking sleep because I keep getting to many ideas on what I want to do with my site and water blocks ect....

Anyway here is a thought for you all.

I know there is a lot of talk about not mixing Aluminumn and Copper ect. ect.... BUT there are a few blocks out that do do this and don't seem to be that many problems. Also if you use distilled water and watter wetter it shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway here is my idea. You all seen my current blocks here: www.custom-cooling.com. What if I where to take the Aluminum block and instead of using an aluminum top I used a Copper top. And then i fflipped the block over to where the copper was in contact with the CPU. That way I would have the heat absorbsion of Copper and the quick cooling of Aluminum. That way I can have the best of both worls and still keep the price down.

And instead of solder or epoxy to hold the copper plate on I would narrow up the channels a bit and use a rubber O ring and screw the plate on to seal it up. That way you can take it apart and clean it in the future if growth ever does become a problem.

It is late (12:30am) and I may not be thinking to strait but what do you think. Is it worth trying???
