Strange stain on my new Ryzen 1700

Hi,
I just bought new Ryzen 7 1700 and first thing I noticed is that stain, as you can see on the photo. Seller claims that it's 100% new straight from the producer but, is it possible for new cpu to have such stain on it? CPU works fine. Stable OC 3.9 GHz.

I would open an AMD WARRANTY REQUEST from here : AMD Warranty Request Form | AMD and upload your Photos plus all the other required information and see if they say it is "Normal" to have those stains.

From what I have read, if the CPU came in a sealed box from AMD, the stains could be from the manufacturing process. Most say, see if you can clean it with Isopropyl Alcohol and it should wipe off. 

Since you mentioned it is working normally then I wouldn't worry about it unless you feel it is a used CPU sold as a new CPU.

But to ease your mind there is no harm in opening a AMD Warranty Request just to double check with them.

Looks like some Cola splash stain - but since it's working fine.. just a cosmetic issue
