No. Aluminum tubes with a copper block will.

I've seen many a copper rad with aluminum fins, but never an aluminum rad with copper fins. What brand is it?
At Xtremesystems.org we don't help you save money on your cooling gear, instead we try to make you feel better about the insane ammount you've spent.
Senfu,it might be the other way around.
Stay away from it, find something that high quality copper/brass
I wouldnt recommend it, stay away from Aluminium...
Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
Corrosion is an issue when you put metals like copper and aluminum in a loop together that are physically touching the water. If you buy any of the made-for-PC rads these days, you will find that the tubes and end tanks in the rads do not have aluminum, but are made of copper/brass. It doesn't matter what material the fins are as far as corrosion is concerned since the fins do not come in contact with the water.
