That is corrosion Copper corrodes a blue green color. you either have a leak or it got wet somehow guessing the former. Time to return it.

That is not corrosion. That is the shitty thermal paste corsair packs with the thing.

Hmm, I don't see any blue in the corner. Unfortunately the screen im on isn't that good, maybe ignore what I said. I just see thermal paste but if there is something else than I wouldn't chance it.

I am 100% sure this is corrosion look at the screws too... Return this it has or is leaking.
