So I was installing a new aftermarket cooler for my Intel Core i7 2700k and when I took the card out to make some space I noticed there were some white marks at the back of my GeForce GTX 680. Can someone tell me if corrosion looks like this? I'm starting to be a bit concerned?

Here are 2 pics of the problem?

I'm hoping it's just some superficial marks and not corrosion but I could be wrong.

Corrosion is normally brown, as its a form of Iron Oxide (Fe2O3). To me, it just looks like glue, and doesn't look like it'll cause any issues. I wouldn't worry about it to be honest.
