I know that mixing metals in a custom loop is bad, but will the EK quantum velocity (nickel) work with the Corsair Hydro X 240mm white rad(copper)

Thank you for any help!

Majority of the waterblocks are nickel coated with copper based, you should be fine.

Just do not mix Aluminum based blocks/radiator with Copper based ones.
