    Yeah, but won’t it also be much cheaper than machined, branded stuff?

      Considering you can get a half decent tower cooler from aliexpress for like $10, probably not.

        Guess we need to do a Cu block vs cheap Ali Express cooler comparison.
        Cooling ability for the given workload (probably not much if the customer was satisfied by this one) and noise.

        I would say it would have been much better to have the block wider at the top (trapezoidal vertical x-section). That way it could give even better cooling performance.
