Corrsion in Closed-loop Liquid Cools

[Earmuffin58]

I been looking at all these predone closed loop coolers such as the corsair hydro series, kuhler h20, etc. Most if not all use copper base and a aluminum radiator. Isnt these the ingredients for galvanic corrosion? If I integrate this into a custom loop, what additives to I add to prevent corrosion.

you would need a corrosion additive in your loop, also I believe the radiator itself the inside is copper/bronze and just the fins are aluminum?

not exactly sure but i know mine is bronze and copper. you can easily tell if its aluminum from its weight, my 220mm weighs about 2-3 pounds, and i have a set of 140mm aluminum rads that are super light.

i would say the coolant that comes in it has additives from the factor which most do. they usually have corrosion addatives,and algeacide to prevent buildup
