I am not really qulaified to answer this but i will point out what I see. First off you are comparing water cooling setups agains air cooling setups. This is your first mistake.

Think about it for a minute. Why do they put aluminum pins in the copper? To remove the heat that is stored in the copper. Now why do we use water? To remove the heat that is stored in the copper.

So basically what I am saying is water is replacing the attached aluminum in a water cooling system. Water is far superior to aluminum in removing heat from the cooper. So why would you add aluminum for no reason?

For the theory that al removes heat faster than copper is irrelevant in water cooling as you are using water in place of the aluminum.
