SP97 Problem.

[Spikey217]

I just got my SP97 in the mail today and when I opened it up, there was a green goo on side where the heatpipe ends. I already emailed ThermalRight about it but was wondering if any of you ran into the same problem. Thanks.

EDIT: I got a response from Thermalright. It seems to be nothing to worry about.

This goo-like stuff is actually residue from our anti corrosion treatment that was between heatpipes and its embedded channels and did not flushed out. I also fired a complaint to our factory based on your email so hopefully someone in charge there will double check for these residue prior to assemble to the box.

Yeah, I was pretty impressed when I read the email. Go Thermalright!
