Hello,
I noticed a small crack (?) on the bottom of my CPU and I wondered if this could be a problem.
I gently patted it with a semi-damp Q-tip to confirm it was not dirt. It appears to be a crack that extends through 2 of the many gold plates on the bottom of the CPU. I hope this picture is clear enough. Image:

I wonder if contacting Intel is even necessary. I hope someone can shed some light on this because this little chip is damned expensive!
