Hey everyone! I just picked up an RX 480, and when I got home, I decided to take it apart. To my surprise, I found it covered in this weird black slime. I'm really unsure about the best way to clean it off without causing any harm to the components. Any advice would be super helpful!

Wow, that does look messy! It seems like a classic case of thermal paste gone wild. To clean it, I recommend using a soft brush to carefully remove any dust first. For the goo, grab some isopropyl alcohol—it's great for cleaning without damaging the parts. Just make sure everything is dry before putting it back together!
Yeah, I've seen that before. Definitely use a brush to get rid of the loose stuff. Isopropyl alcohol is perfect for cleaning up the residue. Just be gentle and avoid soaking any components. Good luck!
