I recently bought an used core i5 2500 cpu from ebay. On receiving the cpu i found that there were some scratch marks on some of the gold contact points under the cpu(please check the attached image). I haven't tested it on my motherboard yet as it appears to be damaged and i am afraid it might ruin the mobo itself.
Is this cpu defective? Should I ask the seller to replace it? As it was quite an expensive purchase, i don't want to take any risks, therefore please advise what i should do.
