Watercooling compatibility?

[Samgab777]

Hi! I'm planning to use the two following pieces in my next watercooling loop. But the waterblock states that it's "true chrome plated". I was wondering if I'm risking any galvanic reaction (corrosion) by mixing a conventional copper based block and this gpu block? Does that plating change anything? Here are the two components. Thanks upfront!

This GPU block is also copper but "chrome plated". This leads me to believe that the chrome does not interact with the water but is purely for aesthetic or is a gimmick. In theory, it should be fine. For a more reputable answer, wait for someone else or contact the manufacturer.

That's what I actualy believe but considering the damage of a galvanic reaction I truly want to make sure ahah
