[SOLVED] Should you remove the sticker from the CPU Heat Sink - attached photo link

Sticker

There is a sticker on my CPU heat sink (at least I THINK its a CPU heat sink - check photo link to be sure), and in the instructions that came with my PC, there isn't anything about removing any sticker, nor does the sticker say anything about removing itself ironically. So, should I remove it?

Obviously sticker has to be removed.

Also - if there is a sticker on surface of the heatsink (surface that connects to cpu), that sticker has to be removed too.

You can remove that. It's just there to remind you to connect the AIO properly. If that sticker had to stay on, ruining the aesthetics, the approximate sales of this would be zero!

sticker is there to avoid scratches and dust build up (and it will look shiny even if you put hands on it)
once you remove it, apply thermal paste and slap it on cpu/gpu or other chip you want to cool down
