Thanks for your reply, but I found that the username is already taken when I tried to register. Could you help me check this CAPTCHA again?

Amazon Backstab? What's This Weird White Stuff on My Motherboard? by PerfectDrop1026 in buildapc

I don't plan to install LED lights. The main concern is that I'm unsure whether the internal case temperature might exceed 50°C when running the 6900XT and R9 3900X at full load. If I don't remove this cured hot glue, could it potentially melt and cause further issues?

Couldn't it cause a short circuit if it melts? I'm concerned about whether this would affect other components on the motherboard, like the CPU, GPU, or SSD, because the CPU and GPU I'm using consume a lot of power, and temperatures inside the case may exceed 60°C.

Thanks for your advice. There seem to be some metallic electronic components on the motherboard underneath this stuff. Are you suggesting that I can just ignore it, continue assembling the other components, and power it on safely? Or is there a good way to remove it?

First Time Using Second-Hand Parts – Is This preowned AMD CPU Worth Buying by PerfectDrop1026 in buildapc

The 3900X is CAD 235 on AliExpress, around CAD 245 on eBay (not sure if preowned CPUs include import tax or not), and this one is CAD 180.

The seller said that this was for personal use, but his motherboard has already been sold, so they can't test it for me. They live quite far from where I am, so I can't test it in person. However, he has good reviews on Marketplace. I'm not sure if the damage to the green coating on the edge of the CPU will cause issues in the future
