Gah, that's disgusting! but then again, you should have known better not to add anti-corro stuff
but this looks more than simply corrosion *pukes*

Sorry guys, but Im gonna have to be controversial and disagree with the non use of AL blocks
Infact AL has a "natural" resistance to water:
"aluminum is immersed in pure water, it will form a white hydroxide film, which remains more or less constant in thickness"
From the above pics, there are lots of reasons that this can occur,mixed materials, had a pump that had way too much pressure, water that had a low Ph (acidic) but it was probably because it didnt have any glycol in.
As long as your not careless and look after your loop this wont happen.
For those interested in the a bit of chemistry and al corrosion and my source please see:
http://lytron.com/support/anti_corrosive.htm
However this thread is a good warning for those with AL block to stick a nice amount of anti-freeze (Normally a nice source of ethylene glycol)
In fact Marci..if your around (being a great source of all water cooling knowledge in the uk ) how do you find al? and would you agree/disagree with anything I have said?
*Im pretty sure that ONLY water in an AL loop will do more damage than good you need good anti freeze with glycol and anti corrosion ingredients and you will have trouble free operation with an AL loop

How about adhering to industry practices in general and not using it altogether so that there's less work/planning to be involved on the consumer side. Not to mention, Copper dissipates heat better. The use of ALU is shoddy craftsmanship and design.
By forcing us to use additives, we lower the theoretical amount of heat that can be dissipated instead of having gone a 100% solution of distilled water.
By making excuses for companies, we just shoot ourselves in the foot.

Can't you use ammonia?
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/sp...ids-d_151.html
It has a slightly higher heat capacity than water. It also kills life, so its perfect to prevent algae and stuff in the system.
Or are most ammonia compounds corrosive?

its does not look very nice ...

Warning: please do not use massive red text with a mix of capital letters and non-capital letters. (it's damn annoying expecially when your lappy screen is 1024*768)
OK, now I'm confused. Here I am with my finger on the trigger of a CPU block purchase(literally), and you show me stuff like this? Can someone just alleviate any fears that I may have with buying an Apogee GTX? Reading this thread mixed with this one:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=145609
makes me wonder if I've made the right choice. Before I click the mouse button, is the GTX safe to use, or should I just *step* down to the GT?
