I got a GTX770 5 months ago.

Today I cleand my case from dust and started noticing rust on my GPU And salt on some fans, I know it's probably because I live near the sea. But my question is what can I do to avoid my card rusting so fast I don't want it to die on me so fast and warranty doesn't include rust..

What do?

You could watercool it? I have no idea how the heck you managed to get rust on the GPU.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

Not on the GPU board it self but on the cooling the pipes have green things on them and the card is sitting nice and cold

And I'm using the GB edition 770 so no full cover block for WC wanted to start that when I got the card but couldn't find a full plate

Ah, the copper is corroding?

I don' think there's much you can do, unless you're willing to polish it.

What if I spray antirust spray

will it do any damage?

1. No idea if it works for copper.

2. It might be conductive. (or it may not be)

I really have no idea. Ask google :D

If you were to use some spray on the cooler I would highly suggest you remove the cooler from the GPU first.

 

The best you could really do is either not ever open your windows or keep your PC in a room without windows / don't open windows in that room.

I imagine that could be difficult.

Those cards have a 1 year warranty. Try that whilst you still can.
