Rust on Radiator?

[Quontex]

Hello, I was getting my system built (I didn't trust myself) and I got a call saying my AIO radiator has rust on it. They showed me a corner with white-ish 'stuff' in it, Is it rust?

 

Sorry for the terrible image quality, I only have my tablet atm and I had to hold a torch.

They you provide the parts to a guy or something,this is awfully confusing

on the right and a bit further down from the white stuff it does look like rust, but that could be dirt, its hard to tell from a picture.

Also judging from that picture, there looks to be a hole in the fins if you follow down where a screw would go through the screw hole, meaning someone has used a screw too long, or straight up screwed into the radiator. if that's caused a leak, it could very well be rust.

Sorry to leave info out, Somewhat anxious.

 

It's meant to be brand new. I got all the parts myself, It should not ever have been used, But got someone to put it together for me.

 

EDIT: Just Double checked and there isn't a scew hole, It's just the mis-shapen fins at the very back.

With how bent the fins are in that corner, it can't be new, unless they've damaged it whilst attempting to put the pc together for you.

Looks like the corner fins weren't formed the best but that definitely looks like copper oxide it's not an issue but is the unit leaking?

No idea, Never put it in. I have been accruing parts over time and didn't trust myself to put it together. The AIO is meant to be brand new, It was sealed when it arrived to my house.

BS, copper and aluminum don't "rust".
