Default CPU coolers aluminium versus copper core

I have an old HP business desktop that seems to have a problem with
overheating. One has to keep the heatsink dust-free in order to survive.
Now this is an aluminium heat sink and the CPU is TDP 95 W.

Looking at some Intel stock coolers, they seem to use aliminium for
65 W CPU, but a copper core for the higher powered products.
So were HP cutting corners?
