Ok my setup is almost complete, I have 2 80mm black ice radiators and I was thinking about going with a Zalman waterblock. Will I run into any problem with this setup? The zalman has a copper middle and the rest is anodized aluminum. WIll I have any problems with this setup if I run hydrx in this?
 
the hydrx should prevent any galvanic corrosion that might occur by having copper and aluminum parts in the loop.
 
the Zalman has pretty think anodizing on it, so even without the Hydrx there should be no problem. after awile the anodizing will wear off and then you may "need" the anticorrasive in the water
 
So would i just be better to go with like a Maze 4 or a TDX then with all copper?

The Maze 4 and TDX are both much better waterblocks than the Zalman IMO.

Agreed. You will hear very little of Zalman wc blocks when it comes to ultimate performance. I don't think that Zalman is really focused on the wc market. The TDX is one of the best and is better than the Maze4.
 
Without knowing rest of your setup the Swiftech MCW6k series block may be the best choice. It performs very good at most any flow rate, which blocks like the TDX and Maze need a fair amount of flow to work decently.
