What is this dot(Hole) on my CPU and is it an issue?

[Episodic]

It's not dried thermal paste stuck to the CPU, it looks as if something was stuck in between the heat sink and the CPU and has now made a hole. I already don't get cooling, for some unknown reason, but any other issues that would come from this?

Not a pretty sight indeed,

If it works fine don't fix it.

What temps are you getting when running the CPU ?

Using a Corsair H100i I get 50-60C while under load playing games on lowest settings (Waiting for GPU to be RMA'd so using Intel 4000 Graphics). 100C using prime95, but that's another whole issue in this thread -

That seems a bit high on temps for an H100i. I think 240mm radiator should perform much better than that. I got an i7-3820 on a 120mm radiator Intel LC and I get temps at idle under 30C and at load still under 50C!

I know the temps are high, I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it though.

I personally can only think of a couple things other than OCing LOL! Either it's not mounted properly or the thermal paste was not applied properly or both. Or the fans are running UBER low RPMs!
