OMG that is terrible! What a loser, to sell that to you in that condition! Not only did he not tell you it was delidded, but damaged too. I hope you can do something about it.
Thanks for letting us know what happened!![Thumbs Up]( "Thumbs Up")
Your integrity is so far beyond that of the guy that sold this to you, I hate mentioning him in the same sentence. ![Angry]( "Angry")
If you right click on your picture, and select View Image, you can then click on the image to magnify it. That really brings the damage out... what a butcher job!!![Pinch]( "Pinch")
This is why I'm not a fan of delidding. It can be done without damaging the CPU, but takes care and everyone cannot do it correctly. Plus that is only the start of dealing with needs of a delidded processor.

I verified it by getting an i3-4330TE and instantly the cards crossfired.Look at the closest edge and you can see scrape marks on the PCB  |
