It's leaking from overheated thermo pads guys, don't worry it's normal.

I've set them to run undervolted to keep them alive for a longer period of time and believed that 60's are good temp.
Thank you very much, appreciate your help. Have to change settings and keep them on eye to see what will happen.

Cards are in temps below 70 degrees, thought it's green field of temperature so set them up in this area. Also have proper ventilation built for mining room, so there is no option for overheat.

If the temps in 60-70 degrees area are problematic...  Cry
Even 60C is pretty hot, and we're talking only the GPU temps. There are plenty of other components on the card that get very hot, if your GPU is in 60s your VRM might be above 70C. These temps by themselves are considered safe for graphics cards in general, but they're still quite high compared to the usual ambient temps. So, things like leaking thermal pads might happen. Either clean the cards from this stuff from time to time or run them cool (like 50C and below).

This happens quite a bit with many cards, I've had these oily patches with aorus 1080, sapphire nitro 480, gigabyte 480 and 1080.. they shouldn't do any harm though. And they usually show up when the temps are really high, like well above 60C. You might want to run your cards cooler than they're currently running.

Had this on r9 390 Series sapphire cards.  Seems that that it occures when card go abit hot over a long period time. Clean card with alcohol the oil is a magnet for dust.

Hello everyone,

Few days ago I've one of my rigs stopped. I checked and seen it's something wet on PS below the graphics card. Thought it's a condesation but realized it's something like oil. Don't know if GPU coolers have some liquid inside, but definitely have no idea from which part of GPU card this liquid coming from.

It's happen on almost all Asus Strix 1080Ti OC and 1070 cards, also with Gigabyte Aorus 1080Ti.
Tonight, friend of mine, a hardware seller had same experience with Gigabyte Aorus 1080Ti. His card was burned incl bad smell of fire from inside the card.

Rest of the cards from my farm, Asus Dual 1070's, MSI Gaming X 1080ti and 1070's, MSI Armor 1080Ti and Gigabyte WF2 1070' working well and they are dry.

Any one have similar experience or have an idea what can be wrong with these cards?

Many thanks!
