ketchup. try it.

OR send it back and get the MPC-CPU which is better for i7 cause the MC-TDX doesnt cover the entire core.

That happens. Just sand it down a little with sand paper till it's shinny again.

If it's new from a store they should replace it for u.

If you'd just lap that block you wouldn't have any problems at all. I know, I know; you shouldn't have to but even then I lap every single heatsink I get right when I open it. Some of the time I wish I would have done a before and after but I'm really only in it for the after. You'd be surprised at how many CPU/GPU/chipset coolers aren't flat.
