Hi everyone,
I am building a system with water cooling for the first time and this is a little daunting. I am cooling the CPU.
I have used EKWB's Custom Loop Configurator (https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator) and they have suggested the water cooling parts I would need. The thing that worries me is mixing metals and not introducing the nasty and dreaded galvanic corrosion to my loop. My research has made me aware of not mixing different metals in cooling loops (such as Copper and Aluminium) but checking what the radiator, water block and reservoir/pump combo are made of, I am a little unsure if their suggestions are actually ok. The radiator and water block are copper which is fine but I am a little unsure of the reservoir/pump I have been suggested. The models for these are below:
* Reservoir/Pump - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-dbay-d5-pwm-mx-acetal-incl.-pump-wc-939-ek.html
* Water Block - https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-supremacy-evo-nickel?___store=default
* Radiator - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-coolstream-ce-280-dual-wc-99h-ek.html
Please would you be able to check the 3 items and let me know if they are indeed compatible and fine as suggested by EKWB.
Thank you so much!
Emrah.
