Hi there! I’m located on an island which means the weather stays humid. One day while cleaning my desktop, I saw some moisture on the I/O cover, the backplate of the GPU, and inside the case—while the interior remained dry. My system specs include an Asus Rog Strix B360 gaming PC with an i5-8400, Gigabyte 1660 Super, NZXT S340, and two Noctua NF-A14 fans on the intake plus two In-Wi-Fi Polaris 120mm fans. I’ve been using the stock Intel cooler and set up the case fans to create positive pressure. Currently, during warm weather and while playing games, the CPU reaches about 70°C and the GPU around 75°C. This is my first time noticing this issue, so any tips or experiences from others would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I was just playing Forza Horizon 4 and everything was running smoothly.

It seems moisture entered the case unexpectedly. I doubt it was just condensation; you'd expect more droplets. Could you share your current humidity and temperature?

Is it definitely water? It seems like a CPU fan leak with lubricant.

It doesn’t have any scent or cause my hands to get messy.
