Hey guys, I just got back from a three week vacation, and while checking over my PC when I returned, I noticed some blue/green corrosion like gunk on my GPU video ports, specifically for HDMI and DVI. Of the two, I only use the HDMI port, and a DP port, but that one doesn't seem to be affected. It's a Sapphire R9 380, a couple of years old. It still works, but I was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out what caused it, how to clean it, and prevent it in the future.

Also worth noting, I don't live in or near a salt water area, like a port or marina. There seems to be an influx of humidity in my area due to some rain, but it hasn't been for the entire time I was gone. And my PC was shut down, unplugged while I was away too. Oh, and here's some pictures too:
