I wouldn't even consider the GTX without the copper top.

Petra's has a great combo package if the GTX is what you want, pay attention to their footnotes..

What I haven't quite figured is is why Swiftech doesn't just start selling the GTX with the copper top instead of the plated aluminum? Whether the corrosion issue is real or perception, they'd sell a lot more of an otherwise great block if they just removed the whole issue.

BTW, been using the Stealth since mid Nov and no signs of corrosion yet.

I agree, I've seen plenty enough to convince me. I just feel bad for new folks that buy a new block with aluminum in it and decide to run straight distilled..

They don't really believe in galvanic corrosion .... that and/or they sure don't show it because they keep selling it saying it's not the aluminum's fault.
