I mounted my RTX 5080 vertically since it was released and noticed something alarming today. While I was removing a light bar, I saw that thermal compound had leaked out from underneath the cooler onto the light and the case. Much of it has formed a blob in the far corner of the light bar. Has anyone else faced this issue?

Yeah, I've seen this happening with either Gigabyte or MSI models. It's a known issue. I don’t think it will cause any major problems, but it’s odd that it keeps leaking. Hopefully, it doesn't impact performance much.
I doubt it will affect performance either, but it’s still a bummer when it gets into the fans.
