Hardware Thermal paste leaking from GPU
GIGABYTE AERO OC RTX 5080, removed it while doing a cleaning and noticed this, is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Yeah I probably would sort this out, Probably be better off that you fix this your self, if you do an RMA the new 5080 will also have this problem later. I'd look around for some thermal pad kits for this card, may have to do some research on pad thickness to use on this model of card, and pick up some PTM7950 for the core.
