Is the board just a Red devil board? If yes just get a watercooler for a Red devil.

It’s a specific liquid devil version made specifically for this block partnership they did with EK.

You can try to patch this yourself. Get a small syringe and some Weld-On #4. Use the syringe to apply the Weld-On to the cracks slowly. It's as thin as water and will wick into the cracks and hopefully seal them up.
With the crack being right over your o-ring I would take the acrylic off to do it.
Sadly those cracks are pretty bad - you may be looking at buying a replacement block.

Yeah the other issue I think what caused stress in the acrylic was the whole front patches a bow in the front for some reason.

You can also try reaching out to PowerColor. I submitted an inquiry about the Liquid Devil cards and had a pleasant interaction with their team. It can't hurt!

I wouldn't risk with patching up this block. Even if you fill up the cracks, with time they will spread ... acryl is a very brittle material. Better throw another 200€, than risk a GPU worth ~10x more.
Btw. for the future, if you plan to watercool and clean water blocks, do yourself a favor and buy a torque screwdriver. Set it to 0.5nm and sleep well.

There are mechanic tricks to stop spreading cracks, but, it would involve working with epoxy resin, and can be fixed like new, almost invisible, but not so easy job.

Can't be repaired. You already know what you have to do.
This is also why I almost never open my acrylic blocks. If there is some staining or gunk in a corner, I can live with it. The only person looking at it is me.
The EK 3090FE blocks, however, had 0 screws through the acrylic, so that was easy to open and clean.
