Hey everyone. I just bought a refurbished card from Newegg and noticed what looks like rust on the card's heatsink fins. What do you guys make of this?

    Hello Pwnykins,
     
    Based on your pictures it does look like the graphics card has corrosion on the heatsink, possibly from exposure to ocean air or another element. I would recommend getting a replacement from Newegg. If you have any further issues or questions, feel free to contact us 24/7 at 1-888-881-3842 or by email at support@evga.com.

    That Newegg Storage of hardware needs some Reviewing. I would request an exchange or a refund ASAP.
