Hiya guys, I want to know more about these weird marks on the back of my GTX 1050, I've bought this video card a few weeks ago, barely used it and I found these while cleaning my pc.

I don't use water cooler, and I keep my pc case always closed.
Here's a photo about the problem itself

    That's normal residue from manufacturing except for that little spot of what looks like brown liquid. .What is that? If you're worried about it, you can document it with EVGA in your account.

    Some of it might be thermal pad residue from the other side wicking through the PCB via stitching, but it also looks like they may have done a pretty bad job of cleaning up the card after soldering.  Either way, I wouldn't worry about it.
