Hi,
I've made a thread in another place about this, but as I only got 1 answer I would be thankful if I could get a second opinion about it.
I have a ekwb classic am4 waterblock paired with a ryzen 3600 and although the loop doesn't appear to present any leaks, the cpu waterblock always had this weird liquid residue pattern around the center piece of the block. (image below)
The temps are usually in the 35-50 ºC idle/low consumption and goes up to 73ºC when gaming. I expected more from this water block but since it never got worst temps than that, I admitted there was no problem with it. I've already re-applied thermal paste three times (thermal grizzly). The gpu temp (1080ti) never goes above 45ºC with the same thermal paste applied.
I've been loosing liquid at a really slow rate in the last few weeks, but I believe it might have been due to evaporation through the soft tubing and due to the rising temperature in my country. It appears to have stopped by now.
Is this pattern normal?
Does it affect performance?
Is there any way I can remove it?
Thanks
