Among PC gamers there are several types of users, some who are already veterans and know a lot, to those who are just entering this wonderful world. And a gamer who is apparently one of the latter, turned to Reddit users for help when he saw that his Nvme SSD had an unknown liquid, which alarmed him. But to his surprise and peace of mind, the community told him that it is normal.
In the publication, which the player with nickname Alert_Document1862 titles “Strange oily substance in my Nvme?”, he says that while checking his PC to verify that its power supply was working correctly, he removed the equipment components and made this discovery. “I noticed that my NVME had an oily liquid, all the components around it are dry, only this one seems to have some liquid, liquid never fell from the outside,” he indicates in his text, somewhat scared. “Could it be from what has been covering it up?” He added, further commenting that for him, “this is strange.”

But in case, like this PC player, you didn’t know, the other players calmed him down by saying that the element that caused his concern: “is the heating pad that releases that greasy substance when it heats up. “It is completely normal and safe.” Additionally, another player advises you to “gently wipe the pad with a little isopropyl around the edges (not in the middle) as it has some sand in there, but other than that it looks good.”
And although the doubt was resolved, some did not miss the opportunity to joke about the situation, responding that perhaps the storage device “got wet because you keep too much hentai there”, while another comments that that liquid “lubricates your data, that is why it is so fast.”
A story that in any case had a sad ending, since apparently without having anything to do with this liquid, that nvme slot no longer works.” In an update, the player says: “I’m running my nvme in my second slot. I removed the cooler from my PC 2 times to double check if my nvme is seated correctly. The starter never picked it up. But I’m glad my computer is running Windows like it used to in the second slot.”
PC gamer discovers his GPU cable is melted and soldered to the power supply, and other users with the same PSU model report the same problem
When building any PC, players always worry about purchasing parts that are from renowned brands, especially the most important ones. One of them is the power supply, which delivers energy to all the hardware of our equipment. But to the surprise of one player, his has been causing problems despite being from a well-known manufacturer. And the worst thing is that it seems to be a common mistake according to other owners of the same model.
This has been revealed in the post of a PC gamer on Reddit, who says: “My GPU was failing and I just found out why,” adding: “The GPU power cable started to melt. It is completely welded to the bushing.” “I’m glad I caught this before it caused a bigger problem, but damn, is it scary?” he says, leaving a photo of it. And also, in one of the responses to his publication, he comments that the power supply is a Cooler Master MWE Gold 750W.
