CPU evaluation

I have no problems with it.

I am just scared about this yellow spot in the die cover.

Maybe too much thermal paste was initially applied in this area or maybe not enough?

I used this machine for 6 years without cleaning it and when I opened it I noticed a lot of overheating signs

I had to soak the CPU and almost the whole MB into Ethanol to remove coil and sort of carbon ashes

The pins look pale after being soaked in Ethanol, and I don't know if the Ethanol removed gold from the pins or just yellow dirt

In another hand I also soaked RAM into Ethanol but the pins are still dark gold looking

I don't even know if it's real gold on the CPU pins and how the original color was

Thanks in advance
