Antec 200mm Radiator

That looks slick. I just switched out of my 900 to a Cosmos - so no need here - but that would have been nice when the 900 came out.
 
Wish they would come out with a 230mm for the Cooler Master cases, wouldn't have to run out and get some noisier 120mm fans for my HAF. That said, sweet idea :D
 
It's better to stick with copper, better performance and all, and it's not like cost deters most watercoolers.

Seriously, why would they do this? It'd be nice if it were copper like every other good radiator.

Whoa, those good copper radiators you speak of must cost insane amounts of money. The radiators I know of are made of brass :p
 
are you sure the channels inside are not copper? Man this would wonders with my Antec P180. Pair this with the Swifty block and pump combo, great for just cooling a single cpu dual or Quad.

All the waterways are brass, the fins between them are copper.

Jeez man I would order this so fast if it were copper. Will this radiator corrode with a nickel plated cpu block?

Depends. You can minimize corrosion by a very large amount (I would say 99%) by making sure the radiator is mounted in a way that it doesn't ground to the case. There has to be some sort of electrically conductive pathway between the waterblock and radiator for any accelerated corrosion to occur. The block is always grounded, since the IHS on the CPU is grounded to prevent ESD damage.

So, if you mount the radiator using rubber washers, making sure it doesn't butt up against the case chassis, and use nylon screws... You've eliminated accelerated corrosion. You will still get a normal corrosion of the metals, but that would be 2-3 years before you'd ever have to worry about something like that.

Still, the radiator's not worth it.
