Question Black Spot

[Eurots2]

Guys can you explain this black Spot that i found to my new motherboard

The motherboard is GIGABYTE B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI

I'm not sure, but if I was to guess I'd say either a birth mark or your drool.

With the general dull look of the motherboard I'm guessing they spray it with some protective coating. The area in question probably had some flux residue on it still which kept the coating from sticking? Just a guess, but at least it sounds logical too me.

Have you tried the motherboard yet?

So the motherboard will work fine?

If it doesn't look or smell burnt in hand it's probably just the coating I'd imagine. If your paranoid you could always return it for an exchange.

If it was me and it didn't look or smell burnt or damaged I'd probably give it a try at least.

Flux. Prob got a cold solder and had to be done manually. Even when you clean it, it sometimes finds a way to return.
