Default Re: Copper vs. Alu?

Thank you for your replys. Now there's no doubts, I will definitly trade my Al rad for what ever Cu rad he shows me tomorrow. I've invested too much money in my computer to be able to sleep with both copper and alu in the loop!

I tried to explain about the small jets in the storm block and that my fans won't blow much compared to a fan in a car. But he didn't seem to get it. He's definitly thinking about automotive use.

He's got a very deep hoarse voice and he always smokes. Remindes me of some mafiaboss

And the rad's weren't exactly alike, the alu rad were slightly bigger, but size wasn't one of he's arguments. He just seems to think aluminum is so much better than copper.

I don't think hes trying to fool me. Then he could have just said no when I asked if I could trade my alu rad, it's not like I got a receipt when I bought it so he doesn't have to help me at all. And he went through a lot of trouble to find me a new copper rad. He called lots of pepole and he's gona pick it up him self, free of charge.
