    awesome tip!

    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?

    I just switched from micro res to XSPC and immediately realized the solution would need to be to knock the air bubbles upward. I wasn't sure how I was going to do it, but saw this thread to confirm it would work. Thanks, a regular drinking straw did the trick. I just cut out half the drinking straw, to make the u-shape at the last 1-inch of the tip.

    Wouldn't there need to be an electrical (loop) connection between the aluminum and any copper in his loop for even galvonic corrosion to begin? The piece is just resting on plastic, there's no risk of corrosion.

    There's no return path to ground though. If the piece was touching the case chassis, there would be, but it's not.

    It's not like that. The ions from both metals are in the water and that's what causes the rust. If you truly believe that aluminum and copper can coexist in a loop, go ahead and make one, instead of making idle talk.
