I noticed some oily residue on the backplate of my GPU while I was cleaning my PC. I checked for leaks from my AIO and didn't see any. Is this cause for concern?

No, there is no cause for concern. This is thermal pad grease. Just use a napkin/paper towel and wipe it up. You can use a very small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the paper towel to help remove more, but don’t use much as you don’t want it getting on the pads themselves.

How many thousands of times does this same question need to be asked over and over again until the former question is viewed by the next person about to ask the question?

The same amount of times people asking about can I flash my bios with another model bios, it will always be that way, endless.

Yeah, probably should've done more research. Mb, just got paranoid about losing a ton of money.

People will stop asking questions here soon with replies like that .
After I tried helping someone and received personnel attacks for my efforts, I'm over it.
I really hope I don't need ask anything here .
Never seen this on other OC forums .
