Is it ok to mix metals in custom loops

 

Like say I use the EK Supremacy EVO Nickel+EK-FC980Ti Nickel cpu and gpu blocks.They are both made of nickel.However I want to use the Alphacool Full Copper Monsta series of radiators.Is it ok to use those 2 in the same rig?

To my knowledge, as long as you aren't mixing aluminum as well, corrosion shouldn't be a huge problem. Nickel and Brass are pretty close on the Galvanic scale, so it should be fine (Silver/Nickel/Brass/Gold/Copper can be fairly safely mixed.)

be sure to use an anti corrosive

That's not a problem since they aren't dis-similar metals but note if your using nickel waterblocks do not use distilled water and silver coils they have issues with being barely dis-similar metals and making the nickel plating flake off. It's better to use distilled and a biocide of sorts like PTnuke.
