Liquid turned to thick puss. Is normal when an AIO is passed it's death date, after all AIOs are mixed metal, so expect them to be replaced after few years.

Hence I am always supporter of either aircooling if open loop isn't an option.
I do not advice anyone any more to buy something like the EK Predator/MLC or the equivelent from other companies, let alone AIOs.

The AIO I have is brand new so it's not an over-time effect. I think I'm just going to RMA it anyway because i'm having some issues with it losing USB connection too.

Video from three days ago. I think it's worse now but i'm biased towards returning

RMA it. Thats the noise the H50 did after 4 years of heavy use, new AIO shouldn't be sounding like that. :)

Defo RMA, might be worth looking at reviews of good AIOs to use with Ryzen due to the Chiplet placement.

Edit - Interesting, a little off topic but https://www.overclockers.co.uk/der8auer-ryzen-3000-oc-aio-mounting-frame-hs-00b-dr.html

Not suggesting the above as I have no issue with my AIO but interesting to know it exists

So I ripped it out and put the stock cooler on, and my temps have actually improved by a couple of degrees it seems. Guess this is definitely going back.
