PC Processors

Bought 7800x3d today, noticed A stain on the silver lid. Everything else is in perfect condition. Will this affect processor performance? Do I need to return it to the store?

since the stain is so light it might just be a stain from when the processor was manufactured and wasn't cleaned probably before being packaged or just a manufacturing defect stain of the lid.

It doesn't look like a burnt or overheated type stain so it should work as advertised. 

You can open a AMD SUPPORT - Warranty ticket and upload your photo and see what they suggest. But I have a feeling they will say it isn't anything serious. No harm is trying though from here: https://www.amd.com/en/forms/contact-us/support.html
