FYI
Pure copper (397W/mK) has about twice the thermal conductivity of pure aluminium (240W/mK), 3x more than some aluminium alloys (130W/mK) . I imagine a radiator with a high percentage of copper will work better, I just do not know if anyone uses copper in them for other reasons (corrosion) There are definitely designs that shed heat better or last longer. The 240 Plastic ends can be a problem with the plastic becoming brittle. Mine seems OK at 189K Kms though.
