I'm happy with my CPU AIO cooler but I'm looking to do a simple GPU loop as a first foray into watercooling. I've found a cheap second hand Waterblock (pic below) which I'm thinking of buying but it has signs of Nickel plating wearing off (common for EKWB I think). is this too bad to be usable or should it be ok from a performance and leakage perspective?

its doesn't look amazing but should be fine if the oring is good.
it look like it been run for a long time, what gpu is it for?

buy a pressure tester, best thing i ever did you know if it will leek before you put water in it
