Hedgehog and oxidation

[stuartb]

Does anyone have one of these and had it for awhile? You had any problems with oxidation? If so, does it affect temp much/at all? Thanks

Oxidation shouldn't effect the temps at all. The only thing you really need to worry about is corrosion from condensation if you're using a watercooled rig. Just add a TINY bit of antifreeze to your water solution to avoid corrosion..

dude. i didn't realize that a hedgehog could oxidize, but now thinking of it, its ineveitable. hehe, ur pretty shiny HH will turn green like a 1970 penny.

wouldn't the green stuff create a rough surface, making bad contact with the core?

Do you honestly think we'll be using the same, uncleaned hedgehog 30 years from now 😀
