Yes copper transfers heat Better than aluminum BUT,

Their is so much solder in a copper radiator that makes at least two different types of metal to make one radiator and all this solder doesn't transfer heat near like copper or even aluminum for that matter. An aluminum radiator is 100% aluminum as they "weld" or braise the tubes with aluminum. The tubes and cores are much bigger, like my griffin for example. Has 2 cores each 1.25" thick. In comparison it will out cool a 6 core copper.
