Does the thickness of the copper cpu plates matter?

Is more thickness good? Or is there a minimum thickness? Because I am thinking to add it to my laptop

It depends if it's the bottom or the top that is thicker.

Ideally you will want the heat to quickly get from the the cold plate to the water so a thinner cold plater is preferable.

For air coolers it's recommended to have heat pipes, thins to blow air through and a lot of surface area, so in that case thicker is better.
