Thermalfake have an all copper block; from what I can tell it's extremely restrictive, and probably performs badly compared to almost anything else you can buy - clearly though cost isn't a problem because they sell it cheap.

(Had to edit this, there is a block that's going to be worse: the Thermalfake block made out of a great big lump of copper with a big lump of perspex on top: the water gets near the hear somewhere, honest, maybe).

Swiftech have always been pretty mindful of how their stuff looked, and I doubt that has done their business any harm. The vast majority of buyers aren't going to know if the composition of the block is a good thing or bad, and aren't going to care unless the Swiftech site tells them it's the best thing since sliced bread (but that would never happen right?) They just want something that looks flashy under a blue LED at a LAN party.

Obviously, you would use silver plate on copper instead of going solid silver because otherwise it might start corroding your copper rads - lol

File the rest of this thread with the one on the fans of thunder. Unless someone can show that this block consistently outperforms FuZion the whole debate is meaningless - and the claimed benefits would seem to only bring it to around equal (or still below give or take o-ring benefits).
