CPU

[DiGi]

Hi sorry if this should be in a different section but it is my first new build so i thought i try here first.


Just got my first order and so far been a good service ordered at 3ish yesterday and got it at 9:45 this morning :)

Any how i just opened the cpu box looked at the cpu and it got marks on it maybe nothing but i wanted to check before i carry on with the build has this been used or it a factory test mark ive never had a intel chip before.
