I am slowly building my new Water-cooling build, and wanted to know if chrome finished fittings will be fine on brass/copper radiators and gpu/cpu block. I know not to mix aluminum but i never used chrome fitting finish. The fitting metal used is brass, but they are chrome finished.

The "chrome" is actually a nickel plating - basically any silver looking water cooling component will be plated in nickel. It will be fine to use without issue really..

Browsing around I see some that are stainless too.

I wonder if using stainless fittings in a loop with copper is a good idea, or if that can result in galvanic corrosion.
