My school has recently gotten a cnc mill, and I thought it would be really cool to make a CPU block for my computer. There is only one issue, and that would be finding an aluminum radiator. I have looked and seen a few, but all that I've found seem to be kinda cheap or they are expensive. Can anyone link a good, all aluminum radiator less than $100.

Manyt of the AIO radiators are aluminum but finding one alone might be difficult. You might look at automotive heater cores, they come in various sizes and aluminum or brass are options. Be aware that alumikum doesn't transfer heat nearly as fast as copper. This is important at the CPU where ther isn't much contact area. Since you're making one why not do it right and use copper on that side of the block. Search aluminum computer radiator.

I thought about using copper but the price point is high, to make a true copper block it would be a $70 block of copper where most of it is actually wasted. And I understand aluminum is worse for heat transfer, but I don't plan on putting this to insane heat. I am not making this to overclock to extremes, I am mostly trying to lower my heat output from what it is and a slight overclock. And i have found some radiators, but i know that a lot of the aluminum ones i have seen look like a joke w/out an actual benefit. i am mostly looking to see if anyone knows good ones through experience and knowledge, not just a quick search.
