Also, the design isn't optimal, with coppers much higher conductivity, you'd want a thin/short fin or fat/tall fin.this is not an apples to apples comparison, and thus you ahve showed nothing. the link i have given u have the same design, and copper being almost always better. they said yes its possible to make aluminium ehatsinks as good, when u optimise the airflow through fins, which is easy since its much easier to machine aluminium. but copper would be better if you optimise it then. water has a higher specific heat compared to air, and i'm sure you know the meaning. this is why its a better coolant than air. it doesn't compensate anything, instead makes heat removal better.concentrate on the thermal resistance graph. this is the graph that allows u to see a difference, i'm sure i dont need to explain thermal resistance to you. the results they found, speaks for themselves.cathars block uses copper yes because it absorbs, conducts and thus conducts the heat to the water better than aluminium. water/air/liquid metal this will always be the case.</blockquote>

185 tire on 175 rims?

Hi guys,

Just wanna ask, is it possible to fit regular 185/60R14 on a myvi rim which comes with 175/65R14 tires?

It's wider off course, but even if it fits, would there be any issues/concerns for use?

I got a...
