Plastic film on heatsink

 

[Peter Martin]

is there a question?

Yes

Take the film off. I can't think of any situation where you would want to keep film on a CPU heatsink. But you haven't described your situation very well so yours may be the exception. Please describe the film or post a picture.

Sometimes clear, this burns up processors.

Are we playing jeopardy?

HEtasink is there to protect base during transit, remove before fitting. Worst case scenario, it melts, ruins your cpu and heatsink and voids your warrenty !
