price sticker on my AMD chip?

[Dentari]

I got my 1.33 chip from newegg yesterday, and noticed there is an (unmarked) price sticker on the chip. It's not on the core, but one corner of it does seem to be touching one of the contacts on the chip.

Should I try to remove the sticker before installing? Or is it fairly innocuous?

I would call the vendor BEFORE touching that sticker. Most OEM chips have them and if they are tampered with in any way your warranty is toast.

Cheers!

If it bugs you so much why don't you just smash the tag and chip and mobo and PC, and ...
Well if doesn't bother you as much then live with it.

leave it where it is,
you'll lose your warranty

Ok, thanks. Just wasn't sure if there was any risk of it bursting into flames or anything (or if it would affect the heat dispersion, but then the heatsink only touches the core).
