watercooling EK Fluid gaming replacing with copper?

[MrChemistryCow9]

Ok, although the title may be confusing, I want to know if I could replace a fluid gaming kit slowly until its fully copper but I don't know the specifics of it. I know AIOs mix metals and that I can add ethylene glycol to slow galvanic corrosion but I don't know what the ratio of water to ethylene glycol would be. Is there a way I could replace the parts from an EK A240 that are aluminum (Pump, Rad, Block, Fittings) with copper while running a ratio of water and ethylene glycol. I forget if the copper, aluminum or both corrodes in a mix metal setup so if you could say that too that'd be helpful. My current plan would be Buy A240 -> Replace 4 parts over 18 months, while adding ethylene glycol -> Have a full copper loop and upgrade that. Thanks in advance.

Alternatively, just save money for the parts and buy them at once or just wait to install them until you have them all. I really, really don't recommended mixing metals.

Ok, I thought that mixing metals would be kinda ok but apparently not. Luckily it's only around 100-200 dollars more. Also would it be ok to buy them slowly instead of all at once?

This is what it will start to do your parts

 

I didn't buy all of my parts all at once. I would suggest buying the block for the gpu first, that would be part most likely to become unavailable. The rest are fairly universal.

Oh boy that really doesn't look good.

You can do what ever if the fluid is right. 

 

Better to just swap all at once. Don’t see much of a rush as there won’t be any gains overall.

Save your money up and buy it all at once.Then replace the whole loop at once.
