Ek waterblock question.

The jet plate was in the correct position originally - you can see the outline it made.
There is no way it could have moved to where it is now in its original state, it has moved when you removed the acrylic cover.
Just pop it back in place and refit the acrylic cover.

Wow, that's a really calm and logical response. I think you're right. I was about to barge in and say it must have been a pressurised loop for the acrylic to bulge out and release the plate

Ive never taken the block apart until today, so it makes absolutely no sense.
Could the jet plate being there account for high temps?
Yes!
As LuckyBenski says, it's probably fallen out due to the perspex bowing out due to loop pressure - which in it self it shouldn't to that extent!
And when you did take it apart today it got stuck to the acrylic and fell off where it is now, they are just held in place by the acrylic cover.
You can see where it was originally by the discolouration.
Fot it to have slipped over to there would have required more force than any pump can provided to bow the thick acrylic block covering it and by that time it would be leaking.

Its after, there are empty screw holes that would be used to hold the cover on.
The cover was lifted, suction held the jet plate to the cover briefly, then it fell to where it s now - you can see the imprint of where it was originally

I have just seen a picture from about a month ago it was still in position
Hah, the covers off isn't it!
Yeah just put the jet plate back and put the perspex block back on, sorted.
Like i said, it got stuck to the cover and fell to its current position - no biggy, just pop it back in place and refit cover

After I took the top off.
Basically what happened today.
I was playing Apex the frames and animations were stuttering, I thought it was the router so I reset.
Turned windows back on and both monitors lost signal, i touched the gpu it was very hot i switched of everything and unplugged.
No idea why this has happened as the card has never gone over 48c.
It was given quite a shake the other day to get the ladt of the air out of the loop
MIght be worth testing your pump.
If your pump has stopped, GPU overheated it could have heated the plastic sufficiently to allow it to deform enough for the plate to fall down. Not sure how hot the water could get in there, but it could get very toasty very quickly 80+ degC before the GPU shutdown (if it has a thermal shutdown at all).

The pump has gone ill have to rma it tomorrow with Ocuk.
Thats very annoying indeed, it was only purchased on the 24th May
I had the pump at 70%
I was controlling it through the aquacomputer octo and their software which was very impressive
cant say i like the colour, id be tempted to say you may have something clogged up if the temp has increased, and with it being a new pump and i assume loop cleaned before that, you might want to check all your blocks are clean, any build up run a blitz kit through it
