Hello i received a barton today with stepping AQXEA 0329...
Anyway i was concerned when i looked at the core. Most of the core is kinda covered with a kina pinkish hue however there is a smallish square section where it looks like patches of the pinkish cover are missing.
Is this normal or does this mean my processor is damaged, its a tray version so the warranty is short. should i send it back and request another i was hoping to put the system together early next week? sorry i can't provide a picture
cheers
