Hi did you send the PCB pic to EKW? I’m in the same predicament except I actually ordered the Phanteks one from watercoolinguk.co.uk but I only noticed the fault once I put the RGB on.Basically i have little cracks running through it where the water channels are for the main chip heat sync. watercoolinguk.co.uk are being very good about it and are willing to help but they cant get anymore of the phanteks waterblocks so are asking me to look for an alternative. but phanteks are just giving the line of its the fluid, i have used pure H2O with a acrylic safe green dye but really its besides the point as it was there immediately and its not got any worse so it definitely not the fluid or it would still be cracking and none of the other acrylic parts of my build such as res have even the slightest problem.It looks like pressure damage or maybe it was dropped in house on the back side of the acrylic during manufacture. according to WCUK phanteks use cheap Chinese acrylic that is not the same quality as the Taiwanese or German acrylic that EK, barrow or xspc use. the main issue though has been Phanteks response they just could not care less.either way im now searching for another waterblock that may fit and if anyone could confirm that its the same PCB as the 2080 extreme that would be a big help.
