Hi!
i just bought a used i7 2600 cpu, then while i was about to install thermal paste on it i noticed that some of the golden circles on the the green side was removed; i figured that the seller mightve put alcohol on it to clean it.. i just want to know if this might affect the chip perfomance or cause overheating .
thanks.
