Hi everyone,

When I received my 980 Ti Waterforce, after unpacking I found out small water drops inside the glass:



I though these could be a water leak so I panicked and asked the seller for an RMA, the seller responded with "Plug it and try it, see if it works first". So I did and after all, the card works great there's no apparent leaking.

The weird thing is, these "drops" does not seem to be water or solution of any kind because even after shacking the card they do not move around. After a couple hours of testing / OC / Gaming at 40-50c, they're still there. I'm beginning to think they're more like glass malformation rather than water drops...

Anyone ever had that on their Waterforce cards?
