I recently purchased a new sound card ASUS Xonar STX, this is my first ASUS sound card, the "problem" Is the back looks very greasy is this usual?, i never had seen a PCB greasy on other hardware (videocards, motherboards, expansion cards, etc.), also has a strong odour, I could remove grease using isopropyl alcohol?
Users of this card, how has been your experience with this card, it looked greasy?
 
I appreciate your help

no. that's not normal at all.. card must be working without any issues and you can easily remove it.. but if I were you I d complain about it and get a replacement since this might have been used before..
