Anyone know of U.S. based seller for some solid nitrile cord? I assume thats what people use to make custom orings. Got a 1080ti waterblock without one. Also not sure what size ekwb uses for gpus, seems like 2.5mm. Prolly get that and 3mm to be safe.

Maybe reach out to the manufacturer directly for information/purchase a replacement?

Are you sure you need to replace a gasket?  I've put some pretty compressed shit back into service and it's never leaked.  The pressures with watercooling loops are so low.

Going oversized is the opposite of safe. Get the correct size or you can have potential leaks.

I dont know the size. and it will still seal being larger, it will just effect the channels.

You also run the risk of leaks if you go oversized. Overcompression or too large orings in too small channels leads to the oring cracking as it dries out. So if you do run larger, be prepared to swap orings more often.

So I take it you don’t know the size?

Sorry, no. Do you have calipers? If you measure the channel, I can tell you what size to get.

Sounds like you're looking for replacement parts from the manufacturer, or an o ring splicing kit.

Or cord stock in the correct size and some super glue.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Unfortunately, with all the complex bends, getting a cord to make the bends and not get caught on the sharp corners and cause the block to lift up a bit, isnt working out. Seals up fine but the flow wont be directed as much like oem. 
Would be great for generic blocks or manifolds, but not so much for a custom mold injected (I assume) gasket.
