Abvious attempt to start shit.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but it is a fact that aluminum sheds heat faster than copper, information backing up this statement abounds everywhere. Does the words"Thermal Resistance" rings a bell?
Geesh a poor n00b like me managed to get three accomplished geeks in a row to bite dust today. Quite an accomplishment if you ask me

Just called 3 senior members "accomplished geeks" and praises yourself for being ignorant as you are wrong.

Please, no need for name calling to prove a point; totally uncalled for, it leaves a lot to say about the person making such comments, and does nothing to further validate your arguments. It would have been better and mature in the first place, to post relevant links and arguments instead of going into a trigger happy, newbie bashing, witch burning, and vampire staking expedition.
Having said that, the article in question is well written and quite extensive, BUT you have to admit that does not seems to have been written by any expert authority in such matters, and has to be taken with a grain of salt, as such most of what is said are simple "personal" hypothesis IMO.
I found some contradictions: "Copper's higher conductivity means is that a thinner copper fin can transmit as much heat as a thicker aluminum fin.".. This affirmation is very hard to swallow, what are the basis for making such statement. Are thin fins impossible to make if using aluminum?
The the author contradicts himself when saying that: "However, on a weight-basis, aluminum can conduct more heat than copper. "
I am including a link to relevant information to support my statements written by a Ph.D. at Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc.

No need for name calling? Ummmm what was the previous post about then ehh? Your allowed to name call senior members of the forum names and the senior members are supposed to not do anything about it. Interesting logic.

You have to consider the article in context of what me/we are trying to prove or disprove, which is the argument that "Aluminum sheds heat faster than Copper". So in this context, yes the author is in error when makes a claim to the contrary IMO.
I am not questioning the machinability of Aluminum, but the author of the article most certainly is, more specifically by omitting such an important fact, in order to advance his conclusions.
What is important is that in general you will not able to find one single shred of experimental data supporting any of the arguments exposed by the author at amdmb.com's article. Please consider that I am not denying the (very valid) use of copper plate on a very concentrated heat source, such as is the case of an Athlon CPU core, but as pointed out in the article I linked in the prior message, you should leave open the possibility that same or higher efficiency can be achieved by optimizing for Aluminum. There is no shame in admitting these simple facts.

Your taking it out of context. We know Dave as an engineer and as one who knows what he is talking about. We are not about to bow down to someone like who who posted BS as in the above quotes.

Was wondering how I managed to make four posts without getting the "mandatory JayDee Slam". It must be a record

Flame bait.

More flame bait.
Your posts speak for themselfs. You have absolutly nothing to back yourself up about me trying to slam you or you questioning MY character. As you obviously read some of my posts you know I have no problem at all handling the torch and don't care if someone thinks I am an ass for it. I back myself up though, which most do not. So carry on with your BS if you want or we can get to talking about relevant info like water block design and construction and make some progress on that subject which this forum is here for. Your call.
