So I'm getting an apogee XT, which has copper and a chrome top. The radiators have copper tubes/fins. Then I'm going to put on 4 silver plated barbs. I've read that the barbs should be enough for the algae growth, but now I'm curious about corrosion. My understanding is that silver and copper don't react, and I would figure that swiftech wouldn't put two metals that corrode each other. So now I'm thinking I won't need any additives, but not sure if the three metals will interact in some way that warrants an additive.
Preferably I wouldn't want additives since I've read they require you to clean every 6 months to a year or something. I'm just trying to setup my computer once and leave it, except for occasionally changing the air filters.
