EVGA X58 Micro Water block

i guess I would say that is technically electrolysis. can you clarify as to the source of the corrosion from mixing metals?

and I don't mean mixing metals on the block, it will be either entirely Alu, or Copper. I am referring to mixing a Copper CPU block, with an Aluminum chipset block?

the liquid is charges with heat and friction creating a small charge, then having the 2 metals in the closed loop will also generate a small charge and since they have a large difference in electro negativity the aluminum will move to the copper and clog things up destroying all copper items in your loop. and even military grade anodized aluminum will corrode in a closed loop
