I second that Gen copper transfers heat better through itself as a medium whereas aluminum dissipates it better to another medium like air .. I do believe we have had this discussion before LOL

yeah it was a long one
but i prefer ionized copper LOL

Mac Daddy · 13th Apr 2008, 06:12 AM

It was a long one and I don't want any form of copper in my heatsink fins LOL

copper base + aluminium top?

Wow! Cool~~ Btw is it possible that in the future you will be using your system on the rig to test the WC system

@mac_daddy, I though copper is much better in transfering heat compare to alluminium? Since almost every hsf's base is using copper (i think).

Sure if you want some Galvanic corrosion...

Copper? Gold!

Let's see a gold block!

hahha jking...

Not good to have different metals in a watercooling loop, if I remember correctly...

well to get galvanic corosion you would need acid base liquid
but to use antifreez liquid or pure H2O you will avoid that

and if you wanna gold block send me the cash and i will make u one hehehheheeheehehhee

Yes its better at transferring through itself depends on the alloy mixture. Pure copper tends to hold heat or cold and transfer it through itself thats why it was originally used for cold and hot water pipes in houses. But I could be wrong

You can never prevent galvanic corrosion, not even with pure anti freeze.
