Hey, I've been running a mixed Al and Cu system for about a week now, (new setup from my old aluminum only) and I understand that as a result one will corrode, and one will be plated, and that people recommend water wetter to suppress it. My questions are: 1) Which will corrode, and which will be plated? The copper water block, or the aluminum radiator? And also, is there any readily available alternative to water wetter available? I'm trying to save by not having to buy it online. Thanks.
