Hi, after some time , I finaly made my new water block. It's made from Al (I was gonna made it from Cu, but it was too much trouble, 2.5mm milling bit broke to often, and inner wall colapse when milling). But there seems to be problem with this block, it just don't perform as good as I wanted. One problem could be to thin bottom of 2mm so the heat couldn't spread around the block.Can Al block with large surface area like this outperform Cu block. Please I need good sugestions.

Here are the pics.
