i bought a ryzen 5 5500 off of AliExpress 15 days ago and it arrived today with what it seems to be hardened thermal paste on the pins

does anyone know if i need to remove that and how to remove that
I would like to know if there is any bottleneck or latency issues going on with this hardware,playing at 1080p. Especialy after playing Elden ring.

I have a Gtx 970 atm but I would like to know people's opinions. When do you think the 970 will be outdated (kinda is already) and games will recommend Gtx 1060 or 1070 for max setting instead of the 970?
