No Buddy, I'd stay away from the GTX, you can buy a copper top to replace the aluminum one, but its just a extra $20-30 bux for it...

Never mix any kind of aluminum in your loop with your copper and brass parts..Even if the aluminum is anodized or plated it will eventually lead to galvanic corrosion, plating chips, anodizing wears off...Its just not worth it, usually the aluminum parts are just junk anyway, its not like it a super metal that will get you cooler temp's......If it was I might be tempted to use it.....

..Galvanic corrosion
