I think I found the source of the liquid @[email protected]. The thermal pad under the VRM heatsink has begun to liquefy into oily substance. This substance appears to have gone to the underside of the board through the vias around the VRM and discolored itself.
Some rubbing with isopropyl alcohol and it's almost gone:
Perhaps there's still life left in this board if used with an older chip.
I know it's completely irrelevant here, but what keyboard is that in the background? The keycaps look really nice.
Signature Plastics G20
They feel a bit like a mix between DSA and laptop keycaps.
Sounds pretty nice. Hope it's as enjoyable as it looks.
It is. I just wish it wasn't this expensive. Will have to live with it for a while. 😅
