No, not in this thread that I recall. Mixed metal loops are a big NO-NO in watercooling. This is because of Galvanic Corrosion. In fact, aluminium in a WC loop is a big NO-NO. Aluminum does nasty things!
There are quite a few people using the stock block, but there are also quite a few people who purchase ThermalTake Liquid Cooling kits too (
).
I had heard the same thing about the SIIE block, but I am not willing to take my chances, plus I do not want to add the restriction of going from 1/2" ID to 3/8" ID just for the block. I spent far too much money on the WC loops and far too much on the board to rely on that stock block.
Just my opinion, to each is own...but my recommendation is get some EK or DangerDen blocks and do it up right, you'll be much happier in the long run.
Now, who wants to guide me in OC'ing this board. I can't find stable beyond stock clocks after upping from 0704 to 0901!!!
I had to reinstall Vista x64 because for some reason it went un-activated and would not take my key.
