Hello to everyone,

I bought the i7 3770 cpu and while i was installing it, i completely forgot to check if there was any plastic over the thermal paste. i do not want to take it off as i am worried that i may break something ( its fit really tight ). if anyone does have this cpu, can they please confirm weather intel usually puts something over its thermal paste?
