First of all, where did you get this information?

Sorry Mr. Wing, but I have seen data that suggests that copper is indeed better than aluminum. One example is the Thermalright XP90 (aluminum) versus XP90C (copper) testing, where the XP90C very significantly outperformed its aluminum counterpart and it even outperformed it with a much slower spinning fan. XP90C (48CFM fan) also beat the XP120 (69CFM fan) by 1.1C on the Prescott via probe and 5C via the system sensor.
