HEY IM ONE OF THE WANNABES

I have tried to follow this tread and keep my mouth sut on alot of things. And I think I have done a good job. Its no secret that I design the blocks. And my experiance is that copper is just a small amount better then aluminum. Sure all the techy babble is there. but I dont reley on post, or published words. I have to see for my self. Im a hands on kind of guy. Personally I did not get any speed increase or higher overclock with my existing hardware. Sure it ran a few degrees hotter, but was still stable at my highest clock speed thure all tests. But one thing people have to look at who make and sell these things. Aluminum works great. I have proven to myself that fact. Whos gonna buy aluminum blocks? Not many people. So if you want to sell something, yolu have to sell what people are going to buy. Hence the copper based product. I would much reather work with aluminum all day long, then mess with one peice of copper. But oh well.

I to this day am running an aluminum based water block. And will not change. Unless future changes warrant it. Also anyone who is wanting to design something for todays hardware is going to be re-designing when tomarrow comes. So think ahead a bit. plan, so you can still be having fun tomarrow.

My little pennies worth.
