searching for a new gpu to buy and found this r9 270x for 37 euros, it has this weird brown spot on the back. Is it worth the risk?
The picture is low-res so it is not possible to tell much, but it has been disassembled because it is missing a screw (you can see white compound in the screw-hole). Perhaps it is scorched by a hot-air tool.
I think it is not worth the risk to be honest, looks like a bad repair.

To me it looks more like a "warranty void if removed" sticker.
I think you're right. Pretty poor photo.
