You are likely referring to the used thermal pad or paste the CPU was installed with. Unless one of your heavy drinker, hardrock friends left his ABC gum between your CPU and heatsink. 
You did that, just to... look at it?
As you can see, there not much too look at. Hope you don't bend any of those pins, and redo the HSF properly... or that brand new phenom may never work again.
Welcome 
We all have our moments, and we all were noobs at one time. I remember when I first yanked it off 35 years ago 
You need that paste between the top of the microprocessor and the botton of the hsf (heat sink-fan) to better transfer the 'thermal energy' (fancy term for heat) away from the cpu.
You need that stuff or you will endanger your hardware (and void your warranty).
You can temporarily get away with using a dielectric silicone paste you may purchase from an auto parts store but need to replace it as soon as possible with something like ...
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound

(I think you probably mean anime....)

hentai is the word you are after, I believe.
hentai isn't a misspelling of anime or amine
