Need Help with GPU Block

Dear LTT Community,

The Coolant in my GTX 1080 Waterblock is leaking through the inside divider (see picture). It doesn't seem to be affecting performance now (I'm running at 40° at full load) but I am extremely worried about it. Better safe than sorry.

 

Thank you,

A small amount bypassing the divider is normal as there is no physical seal between them just the pressure of the acrylic against the waterblock base.

Looks how it should. Don't think too much into the high quality perfect pics ek uses to sell stuff.

EKWB are fairly honest about it in their promotional material. It is normal I believe, no worries
