Hi everyone. I just bought a full AMD X4 955 build.
My problem is, the brand new cpu looks to be dirty. I tried to clean it with alcohol but it's not going away. Take a look at it:

I bought it from TigerDirect because the prices at the time were better than Newegg. And I just bought an Intel build from them and everything went fine. The CPU was sealed so I know it wasn't used from TD but it might have been refurbished from AMD. It didn't say refurbished when I bought it from here.
Is this a real problem? Should I contact AMD?
