Your stuff is nickel plated copper.  There are no plated radiators.

I am looking to build a flight sim PC in the Corsair Crystal 680x, and I have chosen all of my water cooling components, all of which are nickel. But now, I need a nickel rad. I have searched for a couple of hours and will continue searching. I also need to know what config of multiple rads I should use for best cooling performance. I will be using a Threadripper 2990WX and an RTX 2080ti also watercooling an ASUS ROG Strix x399-E gaming motherboard's VRMs, also I will be using a water cooled PSU.(literally the only one on the market) If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all open for suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Like KarathKasun said, its nickel plated and thats to protect the copper or brass from the air. Since it will discolor without it.

So more a aesthetic thing then anything functional.

Not to mention the difficulty of plating the inside of a rad from a technical point of view.

 

Also, that nickel will erode and flake off over time.  Raw copper is the better long term investment.

If you want the rads to look nickel yo can always paint the rad shroud using chrome paint. Or even nickel plate them outside.
