I'm preparing a water cooling setup with a 360mm eximoSX Slim and a 120mm eximoSx. I'm also considering a phanteks water block for both the CPU and GPU. I'm curious if combining brass/copper radiators might lead to galvanic corrosion between the nickel-plated copper base of the CPU and GPU. Thanks!

nickel and copper/brass are considered compatible metals, resulting in a very slow galvanic corrosion rate that can be disregarded. Other metals in the same group, such as silver, can also be used together. Avoid pairing aluminum with copper/brass. Additionally, HWLabs radiators are highly effective; you may want to consider them. The XFlow rads are convenient for filling, removing air, draining, and routing tubes. Alphacool produces the most compact rads in the class, often offering more ports than competitors. The top CPU blocks and many other useful components come from aquacomputer
