Will this cause oxidation?

anyone know if this res has the aluminum contacting the fluid?

Yes it does. It's anodized but it's still aluminum.

[diluzio91]

lol... that one is defiantly out then...

For a good res, I recommend Danger Dens Stuff. I have their 5.25" single bay res and love it. They have pretty round ones too. I also have their fill port res (Thanks BoB) and IMO it is a must have when filling and bleeding a system. I can fill my DD loop and fully bleed it in less than 10 minutes.

yes, even though it's anodized any small scratch will expose the aluminum. it's best to not have any aluminum in the loop period.

There he goes. Spawn-Inc, Scourge Of All Things Aluminum.

I'll bet he only drinks beer and soda out of bottles.

Beer out of cans taste funny. Bottles only here.... unless cans are the only thing available that is.

Lol.... well because of space and money constraints i will be going with this res

Although its mainly due to space constraints. (it has to fit in 4 5.25 bays that are mostly taken up by a radiator and a fan.)

Good Luck! Don't tighten the fittings or mounting screws too tight. Lots of people are having those res crack after a few hours / days / weeks of use due to over tightening.

lol, aluminum has its place in water cooling.

that's a great res you got and very popular, i actually have one. do as above and don't tighten the mounting hardware to tight and you will be fine.
