Well, it's cooling the CPU better, and I really don't think it's going to be of the magnitude that we'll see even a 2-3C increase in case temps, unless of course you're trying to use this in an extremely quiet system, which I'm assuming no one will do.
You are totally off...show me one post where I said Aluminum is better than copper at transferring heat. What I've been saying all along is that with greater heat transfer comes the risk of greater ambient temps IF you don't have good fans (which HAS been my point all along...the need for powerful fans to offset copper's much great heat transferring ability).
