Ian,
I wasn't refering to you. Twas the younger generation.
You're obviously not that short of points of self differentiation.

WOOT THE W.C.W. HERE ON OUR VERY OWN BACK YARD! (insert commercial break for: Swiftech, Koolance, EK, Petra's, Danger Den, *some random insurance ad*)
"voice over" now back to the action you all have been waiting for!
:announcer A: who is goign to square off tonight Bob?
:announcer B: Swiftech vs DD, followed by Koolance vs EK, though I am sure EK is certain a win, so he will face off against either from the first match, then it will be a Royal chill on the motherboard.
:announcer A: Let's go tot eh ring side with our very own High Flow Barb where we can just feel the pressure building, how restrictive is the loop Barb?
:Barb: Well John, as you can see, the techs are setting up the loops, though there is words between the two teams, from what I can hear they are exchanging heat about which pumps to use.
....................fill in the rest with your imagination.......sorry I was bored..........:rofl: :ROTF:
I still can't hear you... I won the spelling bee and it's spelled worx, worcs, something like that, close enough..(off topic). Back to galvanic corrosion! We all HATE it! We all fear it! Let's do something about it! Distilled water and Copper only!Quote:

Your's was spot on!
You started the thread and hopefully you just ended this thread.
Ok, ok Enough already... I ordered the copper top! You guys happy now???
Please do not confuse plating with anodizing. I really don't know how many times I have to say this but, they are very different processes for treating metal. Anodizing changes the surface of the metal through an electrochemical process. Plating adds a second/third metal to the surface. Of the two, plating is much more durable and reliable. Alphacool uses anodizing to "protect" most of their blocks.Quote:

Ouch, bad corrosion... Even with a perfect plating, all it take is a small pinhole ding to cause corrosion so never take chances with any aluminium despite how godly the plating is.
I thought we all :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ed at Koolance and AC because they have aluminum in their loops because they might cause corrosion, not always will....Quote:

Gabe liked the looks of Edelbrock valve covers and fashioned the Apogee GTX after it. It does look cool but the aluminum was one hell of a gamble that apparently backfired, the negative press alone is not good for sales and puts doubts in people's minds. The copper top option is damn sexy and makes for a high class top performing waterblock. I would have thought that Delrin would have been a better choice with the copper top as an option but it is not my company or my call to make.
Since we don't have lab proof of the actual problem all any of us can do is speculate and that can become a pissing match as seen here. So lets discuss what we know and leave the insults out of it. just my $.015
The whole thing is so annoying to me. This all (the corrosion) could have been prevented. In January before the GTX release I told Gabe not to do it in aluminum, I begged him and pleaded. Ya'll see how well that went.
Sure hope folks are taking a look at those Stealth waterblocks once in a while.

WERE NEVER HAPPY!!!!!!Quote:

You're barking up the wrong tree dude. Show me a post where I have crapped on Koolance and AC. In fact, I was supporting an assertion by a third party that some of the world's foremost watercooling experts use Koolance.Quote:

Why do I have a feeling this is another case of a guy running straight water in his loop and is now crying foul? He has been asked on two different forums (he has an agenda) and has yet to answer what was in the loop, fluid wise.
What I can prove is how nobody should take you seriously in any watercooling discussion when you are so clearly blinded by your Swiftech Fanboism.Quote:

I would trust the word of Niksub1 over the word of God when it comes to watercooling. You are welcome to drown your system with Xerex, Pentosin, or HydrX to keep corrosion from occuring, while taking away the ability for your coolant to carry heat away from the processor just to prove your point. I'll happily keep my pure distilled water loop, reap all the benefits of copper only, and be on my merry way.Quote:

I run straight distilled water with my loop and my GTX is fine :)
