Hi , i got a new ryzen 7 3700x the other week.
I have just noticed that under the cpu fan on the fan housing there is a small pool of what looks like water ( about the size of 3 drops from an eyedropper).
Would this be from condensation from the fan?
And other than try to get in there and wipe it away , is this normal?
Thanks Mark
I cannot imagine it is condensation. Condensation only forms when the object is cooler than the dew point. Meaning, you've got to have a "cold" piece in a humid location.
Assuming your computer stays in one location, and it is not chilled to below ambient temp (liquid nitrogen, ice, etc.), there is no way for condensation to form.
It's more likely a little bit of oil.
Regardless, of course you should wipe it up and then continue to monitor it. (It may just be a one-time issue.)
Hi,
Leave your windows open much.
Or ... aim more carefully?
