Hey there, first time user here.

 

I was cleaning my PC today and noticed these weird, kinda wet spots on my graphics card (Asus gtx 1070). 

Is this something i should be concerned about? I'm getting stutters while gaming every once a while and i've done almost everything to fix it, but noticing these makes me a bit worried.

 

Much love

Those are fairly common, just some residue from the factory.

What CPU you got? What games?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

I got Ryzen 5 2600 and 8 GB ram (2400), i know for sure that i need to upgrade to 16GB.

As far as games go, i can play Battlefield 1, Metro Exodus and be perfectly fine, but playing League of Legends and NFS i get constant, small stutters. Sometimes my screen even goes black for like 3 seconds and comes back, screen also goes black when i watch Youtube videos, but that happens very inconsistently.

That's most likely a software problem like drivers or something. What have you tried troubleshooting wise? Also, overclocking your ram helps a bit with Ryzen.

It first happened in August or something after a new driver update, since then i've tried a complete swipe of the drivers and then re-installing them, sitting on an older driver and completely re-installing my windows. Nothing seems to fix the problem but since cleaning my pc (which was like 3 hours ago) i haven't had any stutters. The spots on the card are what worry me the most, though.

At least you can rest assured they're fairly normal.
