That's a pretty awesome find!
Has anyone seen this before? Looks like corrosion or something but it was in a nice Lian Li case that I picked up for $15. Case didn't have any corrosion at all. What would you do with this board? It's nothing special

I believe that is caused by condensation from being in an unheated storage room. As the room warms up from daylight and warmer outside air, the part remains cold and condensation forms. You don't see this on parts stored in indoor closets, but once they get moved to garages and storage sheds...
After watching many YouTube videos about older computer hardware, YouTube began recommending videos about trains - are they trying to tell me something?
Removal process is similar to 486 battery neutralization. The only downside is there will be a white-ish residue left - that's the flux used in the factory.

I have been finding similar on I/O chips in particular, I am toying with the theory that it's a variation of tin pest or zinc pest due to some solder metallurgical incompatibility over the decades.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
PODP5V83, only had time to test it to POST, but bought from a seller I trust over at cpu-world, who sent lots of test screenshots, so not worried at all.
A GTX580 for my Rampage III with i7 980x. Pretty similar period.
If it's dual it's kind of cool ... 😎

Tested the GTX260 I mentioned earlier. Thing is a pretty fiery beast (reminds me of the 60GB PS3s) but the performance is a high beauty.
