This will lead to corrosion on aluminum heat-sinks, and they are only suitable for those with nickel or chrome plating.

CountMike asked about potential corrosion on aluminum heat-sinks, noting they're only safe with nickel/chrome plated ones. He also mentioned it's a laptop, the thermal pipe isn't linked to the aluminum heatsink, and the CPU part is copper. He wants to know if it's still safe.

Only chrome and nickel contact surfaces remain unaffected.
