Hiya, hope this is a fitting qustion for this community.

So recently made a purchase from a second hand market. I just wanted the case that the computer I bought used, but got the full computer with all its parts However when I removed the cooler and cleaned off the remaining paste I saw this CPU was marked as Intel Confidential.
