stickers on my cpu?

[polypterus]

Okay stupid newbie question here, just bought an OEM CPU Tbird from newegg, it has two stickers on it that look like price tags. I'm assuming I just peel these off, otherwise they'd probably burn up wouldn't they? Are they AMD's stickers or newegg's?

Should not be a problem unless they are on the core. The temps shouldn't get high enough to ignite them.

What do they say, perchance? Nothing like "Removal of this sticker will void the warrenty" or anything?!? 😉

most likely the warranty sticker.
remove at your peril if you need to return it!

usually they're just product information sticker, so they don't have to squint their eyes to check out the CPU info on the tiny little letters on the die.
