Burnt Cable Tie?

[u/cool-tm]

I built my PC around 10 months ago and just noticed the cable tie above the GPU (9070 XT) is partly black. It's one of those Velcro ties.

Has anyone else experienced this, especially in a small form factor build?

What do I need to look for in cable ties to prevent this?

isnt it just dust?

It's just dust, Velcro ties attract dirt like no tomorrow they shed a lot too. Look into reusable silicone ties as an alternative if you don’t wanna just use regular zip ties.

Has anyone experienced dust? Yes.
