I've ran one for a few years now with no issue. Some will say the standard copper cored rad is better for cooling due to the material it's made of dissipating heat better......but i never found this and after having a new copper rad and swapping to the alloy one i personally found the alloy one to keep my temps lower on track (which is what i was having problems with), on the road you should never really have any temp issues if everything's clean/fluched and working correctly.
