So I'm just waiting for an MSI 1080 ti EK X to be in stock to pull the trigger. It suddenly occurs to me (first time water loop) as I look at pictures of the card for the eleventeen thousandth time, that where you put the sockets into the waterblock it's open all the way through. And my brain says why doesn't the water go right through instead of into the block.

Is there some sort of plug that comes with the card?

Help me out here.

Because it's supposed to be a closed loop.
