my take on the geek's lament ?

aluminum = the cheap 'solution' that doesn't work as well

save a buck and add some heat
Interesting indeed...

because it shows that copper is best at at least 10mm bp thickness, for most flow rates, where Aluminium is best at 10mm OR LESS, for flow rates above 3 gpm (180 gph).

I don't believe that the performance difference is worth all the bashing that ya'll are giving MaskedGeek here. Aluminium has its place, just not for serious overclocking. A Mercedes is better than a Lada, no one can deny that.
