Sem Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 just got a brand new AX850 i haven't installed or tested it but when inspected it i noticed there is some white gunk on top of some sections i wanted to post some pics but the angle makes it difficult to take without the camera blurring the image the white gunk looks like some kind of glue or something they probably used during manufacturing but it doesn't look it should be where it is now its almost like while they were making it some spilled and they didn't clean it up should i still use it anyway? i got alot of expensive high end gear and i dont want a dodgy psu blowing them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sem Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 lol feel abit foolish now :o: was searching the net for pics of the AX850 to see if this white gunk appears on other units and looking at the review at HardOCP ive seen this http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?image=MTI4NTE5NTM3MjBIa3pQZ0p5QWdfM18xMl9sLmpwZw== it has white gunk in the same place it is less than whats on mine but the fact that its got it leads to to believe its perfectly normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 3, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 3, 2010 Most likely what you are describing is heat sink compound and if so nothing to worry about but please yes post a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos68 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Its actually silicone rubber resin which is used to stop some of the components moving about ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutz94 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Guys, if it looks like the pics in the thread below ,it's just and adhesive to prevent "coil whine" and other components in place. It's all normal! http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=95229&highlight=white+melty+stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
