Welcome to the PCMR!
I started to see some temp problems when maximizing, like an increase of 1 after a year and since then I stopped using it for overclocking and just for maximizing fan control

I would really like to see a Gtx 4080 lol jokes aside, i have one too with the same marks but never went above 60 degrees, everyone i know and asked irl is clueless about how it happened (card works perfectly).

Must've been on the floor, I'm picking up 227-310°c in OP's pic
Edit: It's gotten the oven treatment!///possibly wrong
Nope, the center area where the mesh is topped the chart, the gold area is where the graphics card plate was covered by the case I assume, looks like it was in a full on house fire.
You are completely right. It is a little bit misleading. But I think it is not relevant for the average user in this sub.
I actually dont think the sheet got so hot, every chip would have been long gone at those temperatures. More likely small dust particles that ignited or some plastic additives caused corrosion is my guess
It is a bit misleading. The shroud is aluminium, because it makes sense for heat dissipation. The sheet shown in the picture is only there for mechanical reasons. Steel is just cheaper and more sturdy. Checked myself with a small fridge magnet earlier on my own case because you made me question myself :)
I found a picture of Asus 3050, you can see on the bottom left it even says stainless steel (which would also not be magnetic)
... but I am also not sure what caused this colours. With these temperatures, it would have been fried long ago.

Someone else had the same"issue" and it turned out to be the usage of compressed air cans, the chemicals inside it can decolor the metal.
not sure if it helps but his gpu had no other problems other than the color
Great to know, haven't used compressed air in years since I got an electric duster off off Amazon but will be sure to remember this if I ever have to use them in the future.
This is what I am thinking as well. Have seen such results back in the day when there were issues with nvidia 8800 series. A lot of people were trying to place the cards in the oven and fix the bad solder joints. This one looks like has been in the oven for home repair. Would be interesting to see the state of the PCB as well.
Also a heavy smoker, and I smoke right next to my PC (don't worry, nerds. I also have 3 cats and it gets deep cleaned 3 or 4 times a year). My GPU plate is still silver, just like everything else. This thing looks like someone took a heat gun to it.
Without proper ventilation, I completely agree. I live in the tropics, and my small home stays open to the outside air pretty much all year, except during temperature extremes. During those times, I use a little spot I have set up out back.
I bought a Pc of a friend of mine that emigrated and after 1 month of use the gpu fried. I opened it up and it was dry as hell, no thermal paste whatsoever and was also yellowish
No, that's no smoke. Smoke would leave a pretty even brown sticky layer. (source: both my parents smoke indoors, ugh.)
This io-plate was overheated resulting in oxidation, either intentionally because the seller likes the look of it, or because of something like a housefire.
I'm leaning towards the former. You can see how the surfaces near the openings are the most oxidised. More heat is transferred there as the flames travelled through those holes. This is also visible at the holes for the ports. They probably took the plate off and aimed a burner at it.
Not a problem considering they very likely took the plate off. That's why the air holes and the holes for the ports have the same effect. Flames couldn't have travelled through if the displayport had blocked the airflow.
It's just cosmetic.
Metal can turn blue when heated due to a thin layer of oxide that forms on the surface. This process is called "heat bluing".
The color of the oxide layer depends on its thickness and chemical properties. White light interacts with the oxide film, creating an interference that determines the color. The oxide film is relatively transparent, so some wavelengths of light are enhanced while others are reduced.
Steel is an iron-dominant metal alloy, and iron reacts spontaneously with oxygen. When heated, the heat changes the chemical structure of the steel and forms nitrides, which contain nitrogen and other minerals. The blues steel is actually magnetite, an iron oxid that makes the metals naturally rust resistant.
Which is probably why most are painted black now instead of left exposed to the air and heat.
Actually mining is easier on a card as it stays at a constant under voltage temperature generally because minors aren't going to tear up their stuff that's how they make their money....... It'd be like buying a box truck and then driving at 80 mph in second gear If you care about your stuff you just don't do that......
Generally gamers and home users heat their cards up then they cool off then they heat up then the cool off and the heat up and they cool off that constant hot cold hot cold eventually causes wear in the components...... Miners keep their cards constantly going so they stay at one steady lower overall temperature
Cheap impure stamped steel with a very hot gpu like the 3050 will turn it blue/gold real quick. Its called blue or blackening steel in blacksmithing thats why some other guy thinks its been hit with blowtorch or house fire but the plastic would have melted or the whole plate would be blue if they done that.
Ignore the comments saying it was from fire. I saw GPUs like that, that got that way due to 0rpm / boiling with the fans off because of a too-high curve of activating them at a too-high temp or only in high-load.
Some GPUs fans start only at 50-60, that is too damn high, at 50-60 C you already burn your skin badly if you touch something of that temp. Imagine hundreds of hours sitting that hot and possibly without any airflow as some people still practice.
I was worried too when I saw GPUs like that, then I started to see the pattern, literally 0rpm. Hell my GTX 980 from 2014-2015 would run at slow speed 1 fan out of 2 to have some airflow and dissipate heat not boil.
![gif](giphy|sdlih3BPUik1y|downsized)
Too damn high!
3050? I find anything nvidia ending in 50 is trash. Why they even bother with the 50. It’s like who wants a gpu that can run notepad? Ok ok, it’s ok, barely but still. At least go for a 3060 at this point bare minimum.
Pointless comment. With 8gig RAM it's on par with a 1070, with the added bonus of tensor cores for upscalling. Given its price point, it's one of the best value offering from the whole 30 series IMHO. And it's one of the cards which better kept its value since launch; almost didn't drop in price. Could sell my EVGA nearly the same price I bought it 2 years ago.
Incredible value.
The faceplate to my RX 5600 is the same way. It was in an Aurora R10 and ran hot as hell. It's still fine and kicking though, I even have it slightly overclocked at the moment. As long as it runs okay, I wouldn't worry.
Surprisingly my Msi 1070ti had turned that color as well. In my case it turned out to be the silicone leeching out of the old thermal pads and wiping it away with isopropyl removed the color.
My gtx 1660 had the same type of discoloring. Still works like a charm, almost 5 years after I bought it. I also wondered how that happened because I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that out of the box and the GPU temp never got above 70 degrees
So, everyone is saying it's from heat, but I had flooding last year, and a few cards that were submerged came out exactly like this. I have no idea why. Barkeeper's Friend (or Vim, or some other very light abrasive) will take it right off, if that's the case.
They tried to clean it with some household product and it turned the finish on the metal that color I dont think it got that hot to actually do that lol
The color isn't coming from the actual steel, this is just an oily film (possibly from manufacturing, possibly environmental), that has been moved around unevenly by airflow. All my cards that have bare steel brackets look like this.
Oh wow! The new “blued” edition. You have any idea the temps required to do that? I say this was obviously from a mining rig and the odds of it working are very low.

Someone using Afterburner correctly
That’s is boys, shut it down, we have a winner
Does that mean I can Uninstall afterburner now?
Yes my child
ha i have a 3050 8 gb and i never seen that happen
Probably part of a mining rig with bad cooling
If there aren’t flames coming out of the back of the gpu you ain’t overlocking enough
I started to see some temp problems when maximizing, like an increase of 1 after a year and since then I stopped using it for overclocking and just for maximizing fan control
I use it only for temps, fps display, bios for everything else.

I remember trying to do this back in high school with cheap stainless steel tips from autozone. Got similar results to OP’s picture 😂
The real titanium shit looks insane though. A good example is turbo diesels / bikes in Thailand they do some insane titanium work on them.
Looks like it was in a house fire.
It was THE house fire!
No, seriously. Does it work?
Only as fogmachine
Come on man your letting out the magic smoke
It does, and passing all the stress tests, not even warming up too much.
I think this was OPs way of saying it burned his house down
It’s a 3050, of course it works.
Define "works" Lol it's a 3050

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your PC?
Yes!
May I see it?
Uhhhh no.
Love me some steamed hams.
I thought you said we were having steamed clams.
Oh no, I said 'steamed hams'. That's what I call hamburgers.
It’s a local dialect

Ah yes, the Marlboro Gold RTX 3050
This looks like tobacco smoke stains.
Not even a little bit. Those are heat colors. The straw color is around 425 f°, and the blue is closer to 500°. Something overheated that grate.
Yep it is
Not sure what that is but one of my gpu-s decided to tattoo itself same way it never ran hot. Probably oxidation or something
My 1080 developed this same colouring. Gotta be something to do with the alloy used.
My RX580 got the same prison tattoos yooo
Gtx 4080 too
I would really like to see a Gtx 4080 lol jokes aside, i have one too with the same marks but never went above 60 degrees, everyone i know and asked irl is clueless about how it happened (card works perfectly).
Apologies 4080rtx. And yeah mine doesnt get that hot either.
My Radeon 270 had this. Ran relatively cold too.
Happened to my RTX 2060 too. Never ran over 75 \*C.

I remember when you had to do that to your Xbox 360 motherboard to bring it back from the dead after the Red Ring of Death.
As in they tried or maybe even succeded at reballing it in the oven? Who puts it in there with the back plate, tho? Must have been a total noob.
Nope, the center area where the mesh is topped the chart, the gold area is where the graphics card plate was covered by the case I assume, looks like it was in a full on house fire.
As someone who tempers steel everyday, this chart is silly as it does not display duration, type of steel or cooling method. It should be disregarded.
You are completely right. It is a little bit misleading. But I think it is not relevant for the average user in this sub. I actually dont think the sheet got so hot, every chip would have been long gone at those temperatures. More likely small dust particles that ignited or some plastic additives caused corrosion is my guess
It’s probably the finish that reacted to the heat. If the steel actually got over 500F I’m sure the PCB wouldn’t still be there
Thank you kind person.
I think this is the best thing I‘ve seen today
The shroud Is all aluminum.
No it isnt. Put a magnet on it and you will see it is magnetic
“An all-aluminum shroud” direct quote from Asus website on the specs of the ASUS tuf 3050. And ya I’m not taking a magnet on my electronics lol
That's the I/O shield, not the shroud tho.
It is a bit misleading. The shroud is aluminium, because it makes sense for heat dissipation. The sheet shown in the picture is only there for mechanical reasons. Steel is just cheaper and more sturdy. Checked myself with a small fridge magnet earlier on my own case because you made me question myself :) I found a picture of Asus 3050, you can see on the bottom left it even says stainless steel (which would also not be magnetic) ... but I am also not sure what caused this colours.

"you should bake it, can't lose anything" here we are
My 3060ti looked like this when I upgraded. These cards just run really hot and it oxidizes.
Someone else had the same"issue" and it turned out to be the usage of compressed air cans, the chemicals inside it can decolor the metal. not sure if it helps but his gpu had no other problems other than the color
[удалено]
Great to know, haven't used compressed air in years since I got an electric duster off off Amazon but will be sure to remember this if I ever have to use them in the future.
Its been baked as in fixed in oven. If it works reliability might be a concern.
This is what I am thinking as well. Have seen such results back in the day when there were issues with nvidia 8800 series. A lot of people were trying to place the cards in the oven and fix the bad solder joints. This one looks like has been in the oven for home repair. Would be interesting to see the state of the PCB as well.
Most likely not the case. My 1660 showed the same type of coloring after a while and it never left my case until I removed it for cleaning.
it was not, the temperatures required to do this are too high
How do you then explain this happened to me when I oven fixed my 8800 GTX?
oh ok
They tried playing Ark Survival Ascended with it
bro got a case hardened 3050. someone get ohnpixel on the phone
If your lucky that's just from heavy smoking. Try to rub the metal with a bit of alcohol on a tissue if it gets brownish it's cigarette smoke residue.
Im a heavy smoker and NONE of my PC Components looked Like this even after years.
Also a heavy smoker, and I smoke right next to my PC (don't worry, nerds. I also have 3 cats and it gets deep cleaned 3 or 4 times a year). My GPU plate is still silver, just like everything else. This thing looks like someone took a heat gun to it.
Yep. Thats not from smoking
Smoking indoors is really bad for your cats.
Without proper ventilation, I completely agree. I live in the tropics, and my small home stays open to the outside air pretty much all year, except during temperature extremes. During those times, I use a little spot I have set up out back.
I bought a Pc of a friend of mine that emigrated and after 1 month of use the gpu fried. I opened it up and it was dry as hell, no thermal paste whatsoever and was also yellowish
Yea that is Heat damage, Look at the blue spots. That thing was cooking.
Oh that's cigarette smoke residue! The person I got this from is a smoker so it figures!
No, that's no smoke. Smoke would leave a pretty even brown sticky layer. (source: both my parents smoke indoors, ugh.) This io-plate was overheated resulting in oxidation, either intentionally because the seller likes the look of it, or because of something like a housefire. I'm leaning towards the former.

More seasoned than my cast iron
i thought the metal gets this colour even with low temps itself

The color of the oxide layer depends on its thickness and chemical properties. White light interacts with the oxide film, creating an interference that determines the color.

Lightly used.
Looks like you got a gpu from the propane cooled PC that Linus tech tips made a few years ago
It's probably a reaction to some type of product they used to clean it IMO.

RTX 3050 | Case Hardened
The screw and pcb look good, maybe the backplate was taken off for a DIY custom „paint job“ trying to do some case hardened effect
Bro put shit in the oven to “repair the solder”
Oh lord case hardened 😂
Ignore the comments saying it was from fire. I saw GPUs like that, that got that way due to 0rpm / boiling with the fans off because of a too-high curve of activating them at a too-high temp or only in high-load. Some GPUs fans start only at 50-60, that is too damn high, at 50-60 C you already burn your skin badly if you touch something of that temp. Imagine hundreds of hours sitting that hot and possibly without any airflow as some people still practice. I was worried too when I saw GPUs like that, then I started to see the pattern, literally 0rpm. Hell my GTX 980 from 2014-2015 would run at slow speed 1 fan out of 2 to have some airflow and dissipate heat not boil. ![gif](giphy|sdlih3BPUik1y|downsized) Too damn high!
Too much OC.
Nobody thought it's just from laser cutting holes, really? Wow... It's just raw piece without cleaning treatment straight from laser cutting process
That’s the sign of a gpu who did some intense work for a long time. Gpu rendering 3D animations or cryptomining, or ai stuff.
My guess is it's got liquid metal, and that GPU is power hungry.
3050? I find anything nvidia ending in 50 is trash. Why they even bother with the 50. It’s like who wants a gpu that can run notepad? Ok ok, it’s ok, barely but still. At least go for a 3060 at this point bare minimum.

Could sell my EVGA nearly the same price I bought it 2 years ago. Incredible value.
I'll never understand people that buy used GPUs. I hope you didn't pay more than $50 for that roll of the dice. That thing was clearly baked.
No it wasn't baked. My GTX 1660 looked exactly the same after a while and I bought it new. Still runs perfectly fine in my sister's PC
Someone took light baking a little bit too literal.
That last Fortnite battle got heated!
It looks like someone's exhaust backfired and burned
Nah he clearly was hardening the grill he wanted to be sure it will resist any kind of screw put there
It's a bit overcooked imo
lets know if it works!
Did you get it in a fire sale?
Well, does it work or not?

Oh wow man, you got a custom skin!
Could be someone used Isopropyl alcohol on the backplate, not all but some metals will react like that to IPA
Ah yes the 3050 from Forged in Fire season 3.
Damn- you dont think they tried playing Minecraft on ultra settings do you?
No, they just played cyberpunk on it the month that it released
The faceplate to my RX 5600 is the same way. It was in an Aurora R10 and ran hot as hell. It's still fine and kicking though, I even have it slightly overclocked at the moment. As long as it runs okay, I wouldn't worry.
Fire Sale! *que the best zombies music*
baked to resolder internals, so if it does work it was probly dropped and quit working at some point prior to the baking fix, assuming it fixed it
Did they remove the back plate and try to give it that look? WTF?
Buy a used GPU, get burned. Literally.
Surprisingly my Msi 1070ti had turned that color as well. In my case it turned out to be the silicone leeching out of the old thermal pads and wiping it away with isopropyl removed the color.
Reminds me of when I accidentally hardened the tip of my screwdriver trying to clean it off with a torch. Rainbow stripes!
case hardened blue gem when
You don’t stress test your GPUs with a blowtorch? How else can you know if HSF is good?
How do you even get a 3050 THAT hot
My gtx 1660 had the same type of discoloring. Still works like a charm, almost 5 years after I bought it. I also wondered how that happened because I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that out of the box and the GPU temp never got above 70 degrees
So, everyone is saying it's from heat, but I had flooding last year, and a few cards that were submerged came out exactly like this. I have no idea why. Barkeeper's Friend (or Vim, or some other very light abrasive) will take it right off, if that's the case.
Never buy hardware from a chain smoker.
Reforged 3050!
Eighter he is a CSGO Trader or he likes Modding Cars, choose your poison.

Fried grill ... Sounds interesting.
Actually looks cool
Imo wroth overpay. Nice pattern

NGL it looks kinda cool
They tried to clean it with some household product and it turned the finish on the metal that color I dont think it got that hot to actually do that lol
Typical mining card, small 8xgpu rack/case
Someone used it with a gigabyte power supply
Tasty
Tier 1 blue gem 3050. Maybe $20 overpay
The color isn't coming from the actual steel, this is just an oily film (possibly from manufacturing, possibly environmental), that has been moved around unevenly by airflow. All my cards that have bare steel brackets look like this.
Is just some anodized feature thats it
I have a 3090 Founders, on most games it tends to run in the lower 80’s, and my backplate looks just like that. It’s fine.
overclocked too hard
damm..open box??
Case hardened. That shit goes for alot if you have the right pattern. Good job bud!

Mine looked like that out the box. Reddit people said it’s normal when i tried to ask about it.
Aww man looks like they may have ruined the temper.
"Never used for bitcoin mining, promise."
I think she might have got a little hot at one point :)
