I have an anodised aluminium GPU block and the Corsair XC7 RGB copper CPU block.
Can I still use the liquid in my system without the two blocks attacking each other?
I don't see any major problems. Of course, AL and CU are not the best choice and are not normally used in this way, but both parts have been refined by the manufacturer before installation. Anodised AL was developed for corrosion protection and the water is very pure, so if you have assembled and filled everything with care, it will easily suffice. It does take some time for the water to conduct enough to cause deposits.
But every manufacturer prescribes that you should change the water almost every year. I don't know if that's still the case, but I've been doing pretty well with this rule for 23 years. It has also been 2 - 2.5 years, but you generally didn't notice that in the water.
Otherwise you can buy one with a protective fluid... e.g. 11051998.
Have fun with it.
