Well, we know copper is better as a thermal conductor than aluminum but is that difference even noticeable when comparing 2 equally created, highly efficient waterblocks?
It might be slightly noticable in low end WC systems, but probably won't show any difference in a high end system.
I wouldn't buy a block, as i like experimenting with my own. But for my current project, I'm going to initially try Aluminum blocks as I've recently learned how to solder them.
But if an Al block were shown to be equal in cooling to a Cu block, then I would buy the AL block.
