Is my DandgerDen Maze 4 GPU block damaged?

Hi,

Got most of the blocks and stuff for my watercooling on Tuesday and am a little worried over the gpu block. I can't provide pictures till tomorrow as my camera can't do close up pics but my work camera can. Basically on the underside of the block there is an outer copper part and then a little raised square that is taped over. Now on the outer copper part there are tiny dents so that grey is showing through from below, looks like someone has poked it and pulled off the copper if that makes sense. The little raised square seems to be fine, havn't removed the tape yet but all looks ok.

So is this damaged or is it only the raised square bit that will be doing the cooling and thus the block is ok in its present condition?

Thanks

It's only the raised bit that cools.

Just leak test and check but like jokester says: its only the raised bit that makes contact

It's just oxidisation in the machining grooves etc. Perfectly normal, nothing to worry about. This will have been present on the raised section prior to the final factory lapping also...
