White powder under my GPU (on my motherboard)

[Reflow4]

I was just looking in my PC and I found this white powder under my GPU (on my motherboard) is it just dust, or should I be worried

I can tell you only that it is not a normal product of computer operation.  Computers don’t even produce dust really, though they can aggregate it.

 

As to whether or not it is dust or something else not knowing how your machine is set up I couldn’t begin to tell you.

a picture would tell 1000 words in this case

 

but it's probably dust

looks like dust or spider web

i would suspect it's a small bundle of dust, and there's a vortex forming there when the computer is operating

 

doesnt look like anything you should be worried about, but maybe clean it away
