Hello, for a couple of days some marks appeared on the side of the block between the plexi glass and metal which weren t there a month ago when I installed the block. Should I be concerned of a leakage? Is this a defect? Thanks!

Thanks for your answer. It is strange because the block is relatively new and it suddenly appeared there, I swear it wasn t there in the first place. So it is not something that affects the block functionality besides aestetics, right? Because everything is ok, the temps are very good and I have no issues. I just don t want to risk the card!
Okay, I wasn’t familiar with that liquid. I was just surprised that it’s so milky, which means it contains an incredible number of particles. If the system is left unused for a longer period, for example during a vacation, quite a lot of sediment will build up — at least in my experience with such liquids.
As I said, I don’t have specific experience with this liquid. As long as the system doesn’t sit unused for, say, two weeks during a vacation, nothing is likely to happen. Sometimes the deposits even dissolve again. It’s always hard to say. Personally, I’m just not a fan of this type of liquid — and generally not of colored liquids at all, no matter the manufacturer. I’m always very critical in that regard.
