You just received your Ryzen 5 3600 from eBay for £137.50. I noticed some thermal paste on it, as shown in the photo. Is everything alright?

It's actually fine; the issue is the owner didn't clean it well. Be sure to wipe it thoroughly before use.

Were you purchasing it secondhand? If not, file a claim on eBay. That clearly indicates it's used.

Sure, just make sure all pins are straight and everything is tidy—it should work fine.

If the seller had taken that, it’s important to verify everything thoroughly—make sure it’s all in order and keep it.

I purchased a used item. I’ve inspected every pin, but I’m unsure about the cleaning process or the right products to use.
