Hey everyone. I'm doing a thorough cleaning on my PC and making some upgrades, and I noticed a dark spot on my GPU. It's not the oil from the thermal pads on the PCB, but the yellowish discoloration and overall browning of the board seem unusual. The spot is concentrated near the connectors. Anyone think this could be related to the oil? I've had some trouble with thermal issues recently, so I'm trying to ensure the GPU isn't overheating.
