My brother in law has an MSI Sea hawk 2080ti and he told me that it was getting up to 80 degrees which is quite high for an AIO water cooled GPU.

I think he got the card as soon as it came out, and he says the only thing he has ever done is take it out of his computer when moving house and put it back in, this is the first time he has taken the cover off.

He sent me this picture and I have never seen anything like this, does anyone have any idea what this build up is on the pump?

I can hear liquid in the radiator when I shake it.

That sure does look like it's been leaking where the coldplate meets the rest of the block. Copper corrosion is on another level of "what in the great googly moogly is this."

You may want to get in contact with MSI ASAP though that card might be out of warranty at this point.

I think that is most likely the case. I am also guessing this card is not using a standard bracket so I can't just replace the cooler for him.
