H60 CPU cooler I thought, but after inspecting, I see no signs of leaking from cooler, but on my card back plate it looks as if there is some sort of sponge that is secreting a oily substance, I try to upload pic but upload stops a 41% ??

    Sounds like thermal pad leakage.

    Yep. Removing the back plate to clean up the leakage won't be a problem as long as you don't damage the pcb in the process.

    Wow, I have never seen nor heard of this before.
    Weird.
    I looked it up on google and it is really bizzar.
    Are they using chemicals in pads that werent used before?
    Does this 'dry' the pad out?

    I've seen this dating back to my old GTX 570's personally. Was never an issue, just made sure every time I dusted out my PC to wipe it off & call it good.
