Thats a first for me. Never heard of siller oxadizing coper or nickel.
Be lets be honest, EK is well known to lie about its nickel plating and the use of distilled. Remember the nikle plating problems they had? And how the kept blaming something new every week to keep out of trouble. If I recall they never offered to fix their problems even adter being forced to admit the truth. I recall all they did was give a discount on a new block or something?
As far as warrantys go, well your putting a water block on your hardware. I think that says enough. Your void your cpu warranty and most likely your video card and motherboard warranty by using a aftermarket heatsink.
But really what a little oxidization compared to a distorted loop?
You do not void a cpu warranty by mounting an aftermarket Cooler on it, heck some cpus do not even come with coolers anymore. As for gpus, if you buy a gpu with a block premounted your warranty will hold, also some manufacturer's are not voiding warranty even with aftermarket blocks as long as you can return the card to factory specifications when sending in for RMA. The same applies to motherboards.
