That's good to know as well. I was also thinking about it for my 1700X and EK nickel monoblock. Thanks for all the info!  Did you do anything specific to prevent against getting it on the little components near the dies themselves? I keep seeing people talk about nail polish.

I used some nail polish to protect the tiny caps around the GPU core on the GTX 980, but my i7 7700K didn't have any capacitors nearby that needed to be protected. Do watch out for dust and hairs, there was a couple need the GPU die and ended up in the metal, and was a tiny pain to remove, although idk if you'd need to.
