Cooling question

[mikelthebeast]

I heard that you cant use different metals in cooling loop. 

I was reading up on cpu water block and it says

"This product should NOT be installed with any aluminum Fluid Gaming parts!"

Does this mean every piece has to be made from nickel? 

I plan to use that cpu waterblock with a gpu Waterblock preinstaled

yes, it will cause galvanized corrosion if you mix those metals.

Nickel and copper and bronze are fine, which is pretty much all other non-aluminum watercooling stuff.

Just use a premixed coolant like cryofuel and it will prevent most corrosion.

Just don't buy any aluminum crap.

The GPU is nickel plated copper so it is fine with that CPU block.

The only issue is with aluminum parts.

So buy everything in nickel, fittings and everything

Just buy anything except for aluminum parts, use a premixed coolant from ek or mayhems, and that's it.
