I have seen all kinds of CPU mounting mishaps from personal experience, work experience and in the internet but I think this is the first time I have seen something like this lol.
ItsYungCheezy
I’ve seen so many people do this, I have no idea what compels people to do this
marvinnation
When you thought you’d seen every dumb user error hahahah
Its_Ace1
Is that the sticker off the box? Lol
Skye_nb_goddes
its a good thing they brought it in then

Did this person work for The Verge?

Ah yes, perfection 👌🏽

Thermal paste sticker
-BodomKnight-
This must be a joke !? lol
lightning_po
I see the logic that got them here. CPU sticker goes on the CPU.
TotallyNotHeree
I’m surprised they even put thermal paste on at that point
kingawsume
That’s… a new one.
thebronzecat
Well, it came with the CPU, dinnit?

Cpu manufacturers don’t want you to know this one trick to boost FPS.

Wow. been doing this for 20 years, this is a first.

LOL

But …… why? Ok I can understand someone not tearing off the foil from the radiator but this?
Advanced_Procedure90
No way
duoeduardo14
Well, the processor sticker is supposed to go on the processor.

I’m genuinely confused how people with this much lack of common sense have made it through life lol

Can someone explain to me what they did wrong, l have never built a PC before
SaudiSheep
Whaat…. how can someone think to do that?

Sorry, as a noob what do I see here?

Memes aside, I’m glad they brought it to us for help, and I’ll make sure they’re taken care of. I’ll post an update pic later today when the build is finished. Don’t be too hard on ‘em, guys 😂

the etching on the IHS may have been coming off so they had to make sure it was still a Ryzen
Vandeskava
It’s an added layer of cache.
Ok-Wasabi2873
If you don’t put the sticker on, how would people know you have a Ryzen.
S1imeTim3
Before I got a ryzen, I thought that sticker was like a bag of thermal paste. My 3d printer came with a small bat of thermal paste so I just assumed so
Tjd3211
I understand the logic that doesn’t make it any less hilarious lmao, maybe this is the real reason intel don’t include stickers anymore
sturdybutter
Well……. That’s a new one.

Oh yea, best place to put that on huh.

How else would I know what CPU I have?

Why are you shaming your customer? Without that sticker, CPU wouldn’t know it is 7000 series. Can you imagine a 7000 series CPU believing itself to be 3000 series CPU, and losing all those performance of 7000 series. That would be such a waste of performance and $.
Unfortunately I noticed that your customer made rookie mistake, removed the scratch proof plastic cover from the heatsink. Now it’s gonna get scratched and oxidized.

I am averagely tech-literate, but have never messed with hardware. I have a 14 year old that really wanted a gaming PC, and so I agreed we could build one together, because I’ve read I should take interest in his interests…to counteract all the countless ways I’ve already fucked him up.
We haven’t been able to get it going yet, and I’m wondering if I left a sticker on a CPU.
I will take all the ridicule of this entire community, if that means I get this machine up and running.

Honest mistake. Happens to people who are new and doing something for the first time. Instead of folks calling out how they dumb they are, explain it to them so they understand why this is bad.
Hungry-Lion1575
That’s an honestly mistake by a first time builder. Some stickers shouldn’t be removed, e.g. on RAM b/c sticker could serve as a heat spreader.

How can someone be this stupid? 😭
The sticker adds bonus Ryzen fps
🤦🏼
