3-Row copper vs 2-row plastic

Hey,

I've got stacks of radiators in my shop.. Would a 3-Row copper radiator have better cooling effect than the 2-row plastics? or are the plastics better engineered?

cooling is not my speciality by any means!

WAY BETTER and you don't have to worry about that plastic crap cracking if you go all metel.

get a 3 row copper core, brass ends OR all Aluminum. But yes 3 row is way better.
