Would this work better with alloy heatsinks?
Copper = Transfers heat quick. Alloy = Gets rid of heat quick. As the heat has been transferred from the CPU to the copper with the pipes in it, the alloy heatsinks would get rid of the heat from the copper. A little like the top of the BT where they use alloy fins. |

As far as I know copper is better at absorbing the heat and alloy is better at transferring heat.Eg;hot water heaters are copper as they hold heat for longer than other metals.
