Hi guys. I'm looking for good pump and reservoir for my to be loop preferably with return on top and extra inlet on top for filling on reservoir. I'll be cooling Asus maximus VII formula, i7 4790k and r9 295x2. Also I'll be using primochill ptge pipe and primochill fittings. I picked my rads 1x240mm and 1x360mm all packed in corsair 760t. I'm trying to stick with all copper components however blocks are nickel plated so I don't know it that's playing any role in corrosion? Do you think using coolant/dye will be bad? Should i just use colored tubing? My theme is red/black My specs in my sig

All help appreciated and I'll pick best answer.

Reservoir doesnt matter, get one that looks good and fits in your loop. Larger ones are easier to fill the loop with but otherwise size makes no difference.

Copper and Nickel are fine to mix. Technically any mismatched metals in a loop create potential for corrosion, but they are pretty close together on the Galvanic Index so there isnt much. I'l link to Martins Liquid Lab as there is an article on corrosion, but something is up with his website so its not available for now.

Dyes in general are bad as they can gunk up the loop, coolant is pointless as Distilled water is just as good. If you want colour, do it through tubing and lighting.
