I tried to take a pic but my crappy camera phone can't capture it quite well.

My brand new 6750 has scuffs on it under the lettering. As you look at it it goes horizontal under the letters.

They are very apparent when you tilt it at an angle, just like how the letters become more visible.


I am reading that this is normal?


I know I can lap it, but won't do that right away.

I have some artic silver 5, will there be any issue with heat transfer with it in this condition?

only one way to find out. for the record, I'm currently running orthos with a tuniq tower running at 2100 rpm on an antec p900 case and abit ip35 pro. max load temp is 57c right now with an ambient of 75f.

I just got mine today but looking though the window I can see some scratches above and below the writing on mine. Nothing horrible or even that concerning. Most likely caused by the packaging machine.
