It depends on the design and the eqipment used in the testing. I made 2 identical blocks in AL and Cu (thank god for CNC!) and came up with a .5C difference between the two. It was the basic e design but whatever. AL works just fine for computer water blocks. Sure Copper performs better but who cares, .5-5C makes no real world difference. That is like overclocking a 2000mhz CPU to 2025mhz. Wooopteeeeedoooooo!!!!!!
