Should I be worried about these marks on my MSI GTX780 Gaming? They were on the card when I got it. I really do not want to RMA it so close to FFXIV ARR launch and be without a GPU. I have had the card for about 25 days now. The packing was sealed when I got it.

The card itself works fine. Temps are normal and turbo boosts to 1058. I have overclocked it to about +135 on the core and +500 on the memory. I am worried about longevity. Will this stuff turn into mold? I am sure,hope, that MSI will honor my warranty in the event it fails.

looks to me the card was not soldiered properly the first time around and didn't get past quality control. They then removed the soldier and soldiered it and sent it out to market.

If you don't mind the white stuff, its going to work fine, especially since the soldiering on it was most likely done by hand since it had to be redone.
