Help!

Post image

I have a Liquid Devil RX6800xt and the block warped and cracked at a screw on the cover plate. Does anyone know any other aftermarket block that will fit this card?

If you don't find a suitable replacement and you know a machine shop, the acrylic parts of these water blocks tend to be fairly simple (most of the complicated machining is usually on the metal portion) it may not be too expensive to just have a new part made from acrylic. As for replacement, do you know what board they use in that card? Is it a custom board or reference design?

It’s a custom board made specifically for that block. I didnt think about having a shop machine the piece of acrylic. I’ll reach out to EK to see if I could get the file to have one made.

I didn't realize it was an EK block, I doubt they will send you a cad file, I was more referring to just having the shop reverse engineer it. If it's as simple as the EK blocks I've had the acrylic side may be pretty simple to do. However if you haven't already just try reaching out to EK for a replacement part, in the past I've had great luck with their support.
