okay so as a video I've been kind of wanting to do for a little while here that I'm finally gonna do it's gonna involve a little bit of destruction and some of you were gonna probably cringe but I digress this is necessary for the sake of science yo J to define our six in white fine our six in white okay okay it's an arsenic but it's not new in fact it's not even all white I mean what's with the black front really coming from the guy with the black and white car black hood black okay that's different it's the same that's not the same exact same thing not the same fine change it then how with the custom wrap from slick wraps front panel whole cakes whatever you want even custom designs us that's right we did do that video about the custom wrapped our six choose any of their existing designs or customize your own upload it and they'll make it for you see wow you really can make these custom with rats so this one specifically is going to be involving you know a iOS and the concept of galvanic corrosion so this right here is the a 240 G this is from ek water blocks this is the all aluminium aluminium wherever you're from it's a custom water-cooled loop and it's a kit so you put it together but even the fittings are aluminum the blocks aluminum the GP blocks aluminum even the parts inside the pump that could possibly corrode through galvanic corrosion are aluminum now what causes galvanic corrosion is the mixing of metals so specifically like copper and well copper and aluminum this is dripping on my hand what am I always doing that so mixing things like copper and aluminum can definitely accelerate the idea of galvanic corrosion now this right here this is this is the pump I tried to use in this system which didn't quite have enough power this is technically an AI oh but the AI oh the radiator that comes with the Kelvin from fractal design is actually an alpha cool radiator so this is a truly 100% copper setup so this isn't going to be a candidate because it doesn't have mixed metals so if you talk about the idea of mixing metals people tend to just freak out because they go well you can't mix aluminum and you can't mix copper and this and that you'll get galvanic corrosion it's a term people throw around because they hear about it online and stuff and then they just sort of I know they regurgitate and they repeat themselves and they don't actually understand what's happening they never use aluminum in the loop because we've got mad at corrosion when you use it with copper well guess what most of your a iOS on the market I showed you an example of one that didn't do include copper and aluminum so this is actually an old H 100 right here H 100 i I've had this thing for like four years now something along those lines maybe even longer I'm gonna cut this sumbitch open we're gonna cut it open today because I am curious if I love this phone almost in fact NEA Sutekh rebranded AIO which is most of the ones in North America our copper base on the block as you can see right here with an aluminum radiator so we've got mixed metals from day one the difference is they use a fluid that is designed to combat galvanic corrosion now most coolants that are on the market for your open loops or your custom loops are also they have inhibitors in there for corrosion the difference is these are much more controlled they have a very specific coolant that we use and it's the same across the board they've got all the same you know materials being used whereas an open-loop or a custom loop you're using different brands I use different different grades of plating different grades of copper different types of nickel plating so there's very little control over that and then the type of coolant that you use especially with all of these boutique type coolants now like the view and the Primo chill are the what that mayhem is pastels and all that stuff may not necessarily have the best amount of anti-corrosion in there so this is what the inside of the h100 eye looks like so as you can see it pushes the fluid down through the middle right here across these copper blocks or this these fins right here a fact that's not even a oh yeah the our fins are just really freaking tiny and then it goes out the outside and back out and into the radiator in fact here is your temperature probe right there but this thing is obviously full of coolant so I'm gonna go and drain this real quick which not very not a lot of it we're gonna drain it based on the way that this block looks so I don't think we're gonna see any corrosion but I'm gonna cut the end tanks off of the radiator and see what it looks like inside quickest way to do this I have no idea what color the fluid is in fact almost any time I've ever cracked open an AI oh I hate that AI oh it's hard to say AI oh it's almost like saying I edited it edited the video edited it I gotta go edit it it's a weird anyway I digress Pleasant anytime I've cut open an AI Oh in the pasture or used any of the expandable ones the fluid has been clear so it's kind of funny that this one's a little bit green which is interesting because usually galvanic corrosion has a little bit of a green blueish kind of a color to it that sound sure you use a fresh blade Oh smell it smell so bad so do this this is this is actually better than I was expecting I've had this AO for four years and as you can see there's not the slightest amount of discoloration or corrosion in this I mean if anything it looks is probably as clean as day one the sad part is I've clearly ruined a perfectly good heyyo so right but it's back together get my hand my hands are dirty with a little bit of soldering but as you can see right here the most important lesson to be learned from this video other than Jai pointlessly opened up a radiator no it's not pointless we learned something today if the coolant is designed to handle such mixed metals then you can actually mix metals still not recommend it but you could mix metals and have long-term success with it had this just been distilled water or something like that without any sort of anti corrosive agent in there this would have not only gotten growth like you know algae and stuff but it would have also corroded on the inside as well so yeah this quick little video because I wanted an excuse to cut open a radiator that was made out of aluminum I picked the oldest one I had and now this that doesn't mean that a iOS don't corrode it's up to the manufacturer to use the right coolant chemical configuration because if the if the chemical makeup is not proper and it's not just how the right agents in there the right anti corrosive material or additives then you would certainly get different results yeah I mean I think that right there it kind of paints the picture you can see that that is super clean all right well if you guys got any other suggestions and things we should cut it open JG can open a twenty ATT I know yeah you guys have any suggestions of things you should cut open let me know down the comments below or hit me up on Twitter at jst sense thanks for watching guys and as always we will see you in the next one I still think the coolant got kind of dirty though just why that turned that color so I think there is obviously a life to the coolant but in terms of corrosion the H 100 I the test of time now I can do the stuff I've always kind of wanted to do and see how well it can withstand oh that's actually not bad oh this is okay
