I don't see why some of you think this is bad, it's like some sort of metal elitism going on. How about waiting for some testing of blocks and rads in a custom loop to copper and seeing how it changes first. My all copper AIO CPU cooler was almost the same price as their system which includes a full cover GPU block and res. Believe it or not, being able to buy highend gear and still be able to WC is a good thing. People have budgets, and if you can build a full WCing system for half the price that is more money that can go into system HW. As stated above, it's keeping a 1080Ti at 43C, is an all copper system that might run at 40C worth that much more to most people? Not at all. Some will always want the best, and will pay whatever for that last 1C. But we are talking mid 40C for CPU and GPU on a 240.
As for options, assuming this catches on, other mfgs will also start making aluminum part lines, you will still probably always have your highend copper stuff, but the mainstream will be aluminum, and aluminum and AIO's have brought more people into WCing than anything else, so many people who would have never considered WCing now have AIO, and many who have used those have upgraded to custom systems once they got their feet wet. How having more and cheaper options is a bad thing I just don't know. If you don't like it, don't buy it, it's not really that hard.
