Hello there. :)

During my late spring cleaning I notice my gtx 260 has some wet/oil spots

It has been running in my system with 196.21 drivers for the past 2 years. Smooth sailing so far. :cool:

Is this the normal for aging gpus? :confused:

wet oil spots?

post up a pix man cause I got a 3 year old 4870 that is as dry as a bone
 
That's definitely not normal. Where is your computer located? Are you water cooling or something?
 
Just looks like some finger grease on the matte finish. Like fried chicken? :D
 
The spot is definitely noticeable with the human eye, specially with all that dust cover on the gpu.

Fried chicken and PCs? I don't even......
 
They just look like oil from your finger from when you inserted the card into the slot.
 
like everyone else said, its just from yo greasy fingers :p pretty normal, my cards have them as well from me moving my cards around all the time.
