Hey all,
I have never heard of this before, but reading a passing comment on someone else's build question, it was suggested that they should dump the aluminum radiators b/c he was using a copper water block.

So me with me naivety went ahead and bought all my water cooling stuff through Thermaltake and just assumed that everything would be compatible and upon reading the above comment realized that I have a Pacific W5 CPU Water and 3 x Pacific RL560 Radiators (The rads are aluminum)

So my question is, are Thermaltake aluminum rads compatible with copper blocks (Some special coating on them, b/c they does say "Anti-Corrosion" on them)? Or am I screwed and need to buy copper ones? And if that is the case, will these rads be ok in a copper based loop? EK-CoolStream CE 560 (Quad)

Sorry for the dumb question, but I need to sure.
