Would corrosion occur only on the stainless steel or would the copper elements get damaged too?
WHat METAL other then copper should I use then to make a reservoir?
WHat exact coolant mixture should I use, which prevents corrosion and doesnt lower the cooling properties? I hear anti-freeze hinders heat transfer.
A friend of mine implied there could be a way to circumvent corrosion between materials by connecting them with a copper wire outside the coolant (so the wire would make kind of a short-circuit between the reservoir and waterblocks, preventing the reaction through the fluid.
Any info on that?
