A new processor with a sticker on it...

[sigdtfnick]

Hello, dear users!
I need your advice. Today I have bought a new processor in a computer store.
I've received the processor with the sticker on ... its pins that should not be touched. I was told that if I remove this sticker, I lose the guarantee...
Will it work if I put it into the socket like I was told to put it(with a sticker on it), or should I remove the sticker.
I tend to believe that they're not right.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Ya a picture would be great. Or even telling us what the processor is and where it was bought and what the sticker says. I have never seen a processor with a sticker on it.

is it a sticker or a thermal pad?

There shouldn't be a sticker on it anywhere. There is a piece of plastic on the bottom for protection but it should be removed.

Are you sure they weren't talking about the sticker on the box?

I've seen that sticker on lga 775 mobo's. On the plastic cover thats on the cpu socket. Never on a cpu though.
