I'm currently running 2 copper Rads and a copper CPU block. I have been using Monsoon's barbs for soft tubing (which i think are silver plated) and Mayhem's pastel which contains its own Biocide. I've done this over a year with no problems of corrosion.

My question is that I'm looking to get a MSI SeaHawk 1070 which has nickel plated over copper.

Is there going to be a corrosion issue with this combo? I'm not going to be buying the self contained version but the one with an acrylic plate that can fit into my current water cooled loop.

I'd like to buy this today but I want to make sure i'm not going to void a warranty since it uses an EK waterblock. Please let me know.

I've been watching your post to see what the answer was, had an idea, maybe contact EK and ask them. I have a full water loop on my CPU GPU, but my setup is all copper, I think... I didn't pay attention when I bought stuff (Bought on a whim). Anyhow, ya, try them, they seem to know their stuff.
