No response from Enermax  Will try once more, then RMA.

Enermax LIQTECH TR4 360 worked for 4 months. The temperature all grew and grew... My AMD 1950X is 50-55 degrees in idle time. Yesterday I disassembled my AIO cooler and here's the result... 
Now i already washed the entire circuit and filled a new liquid without dye. Now the temperature has become adequate. But I do not know how long this will last. There is a trace of corrosion on the water block and this is very bad.
Support my Twitter post! It is necessary that everyone knows that this is garbage.

I can add some new insights to the phenomenon, too:
 
After I repositioned my cooler, temps were normal again for about a week. Of course I thought it must have been some weird positioning issue with air bubbles getting stuck in some weird places and blocking heat dissipation. However, when temps rose again and shut doiwn my system, because it was getting too hot under load, I began trying to reposition it again and this time it didn't work. I found out later that if I smack the side of the radiator where the tubes go in and out hard, the heat on this side dissipates, the other end of the radiator gets much warmer for about 10 seconds and temparatures start to drop. Sometimes the effect lasts longer, however, it's never permanent. It seems to me, too, that there must be some kind of corrosion going on inside that blocks the water transport by blocking the fins or something like that.
How is this possible and how come I was affected twice in a row with 2 different Liqtec 240s? If this is not a larger issue regarding the product, my receiving two bad AIOs in a row is highly unlikely.

To answer my own question, I opened it up (after confirming that i could still return it with the vendor) and found some quite disgusting residues (see pics)
 
 

Same problem here too. So Annoying!!
 
1950x (stock speeds) on an ASRock Taichi X399 (latest BIOS).
 
Getting idle of 48°C to 55°C and load up to 68°C (reading temps with HWMonitor and load testing with Prime95 and Cinebench). I can't get it to read anything above 68°C, but as this is AMDs max safe operating temp, I assume the chip is throttling at this point.
 
I've tried reseating the pump (with adding thermal paste), setting up fans in push, pull and push/pull with another 3 120mm. Pulling the front panel off the NZXT H700i doesn't help either.
 
I just contacted Enermax about it. Will let you know their response.

I have the the same problem:
 
Sys: 1950x @ 3.8 GHz on ASUS X399 Prime A in a 4U server environment
 
What happens is that the Enermax cooler works perfectly (c.p. - same configuration) and after a few weeks it *seems* like some of the fins or parts of the radiator get blocked or something. Temps will then reach 85°C under load and be around 60°C at idle. The same system was at 65°C under load and a litle over 40°C idle when the cooler was first set up a few weeks ago. I've had this happen twice now, i.e. I've already returned the same model (Enermax LiqTech TR4 240) and bought the same model again to test wether I just got a bad sample of if this is a different problem. Same phenomenon. This suggests that it either has to do with the physical setup (e.g. position or orientation of the cooler) or with the product line / batch. 
 
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

RSI is pulling off an April 1st joke. The whole website has transformed to talk about sealife and fishes: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/about-the-game/spaceflight. There even are new ship variants called Pisces etc.

Hey everyone!

Don't you also want Linus and Slick and the whole LTT-Team, or better yet more people like Logan etc, to perform an adaption of Bonnie McKee's "American Girl"?

I've had it on replay during the day hopping through the house cleaning stuff. HD595s@15m-ghetto-mounted-extension-cables@XonarEssenceSTX : B)
Don't mind that they're neither US-American, nor girls. We want to see this. It's fun! Such a video would probably get them many clicks and Likes. Plus, Linus could live out the gay side a little. It's probably a great contribution to the worldwide human society.

This is not a joke btw. I seriously think this would be awesome and very fun. It'll be time well spent in the end

There already is a great video out there that cuts together famous people singing the song (George Takei, KISS, Katie Perry, Kelly Osbourne, Macklemore, Ke$ha, Jason Derulo, Becky G and others).

Vote yes if you want to see this!

(first ideas to get Diesel started:)
Considering the lyrics, scenes could include:
- SNES and a TV during "raised by a television"
- LAN Party during "everyday is a competition"
- Slick ignoring Linus during "I don't listen to mommy"
- Slick's car breakdown, Linus' bike, racing simulation during "put the key into my ignition"
