Understanding the Thermal Gel Situation
Gigabyte has recently confirmed a minor issue affecting some of its Nvidia RTX 50 graphics cards. Reports indicate that these cards are oozing thermal gel. However, the company reassures users that there is no cause for alarm. The thermal gel is a part of the cooling system designed to manage heat efficiently. Users might notice the gel leaking, but it typically does not impact the card’s performance.
For those experiencing this issue, having paper towels handy is the best course of action. Gigabyte recommends monitoring the temperature of the cards. They assure users that the gel is not harmful and is part of normal operations. If the problem persists or seems extreme, contacting customer support is advisable.
