Oxide on graphic card

[adam RL]

is it dangerous to my other hardwares when my graphic card have an oxide layer on it

 

[decode]

What type of Oxide is it? and is it actually in the card, or is it a substance thats on the card?

 

[adam RL]

what i can see ,it is on the card

Has it been exposed to water? and is it still under warranty? if so try to RMA it, I don't know if it will damage your other parts, but its better to be safe than sorry

If it's a film that appears on the back of the card, more than likely most if not the entire card, the it's probably nothing to worry about. Alot of the time when the cards are run through a bath to remove the excess solder from all the solder joints and the board itself, a thin film layer will appear, looking like the card is oxidized. It however is not oxidized, its just a left over layer of the bathing solution. This is common on most electronics.

Can you put up a good hi res pic of the card? Might help to determine if it is actually oxidation or just leftover bathing solution.

my graphic card havn't exposed to any water...yes it is still under warranty...but i dont think that i can RMA it...my friends said to me that the supplier will not consider the hardware is damage if it still can be use.
