Question EK 2080 TI Waterblock "END OF LIFE"!?

EK-Vector RTX 2080 Ti RGB - Nickel + Plexi

Go to go to this website
https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-vector-rtx-2080-ti-rgb-nickel-plexi?___SID=U

and EK has labeled this "end of life"

I checked on this product literally yesterday 1-4-20

This GPU waterblock I have a build and it's only 5 days old and on this water block alone I see green growth or corrosion maybe that's why they discontinued it but very interesting...

This is what grew or formed on mine after 4 days of use
Green Residue

What my whole PC looks like

Is there a question in there somewhere?

 

[Brian42Own]

Does anyone know why they all of a sudden discontinued it? Perhaps because of maybe the issue I'm having?

 

[Darkbreeze]

Did you use antimicrobial additive or what exactly did you put IN the loop?

 

[Gam3r01]

Its likely been discontinued because that block came out in 2018, EKWB has no need to further manufacture more given the age of the card its designed to cool.
Or, just ask them directly.

I see you already have another thread on this AND you have answers in there from Rubix, who is probably one of the top five or ten people out of all the online communities that you could possibly have answer your questions about cooling loops.

Even besides that however, multiple threads on the same topic are not allowed here. Please stick to ONE thread per topic. Closing thread.
