I just received my OEM 14900K CPU, and there's a warranty sticker on the bottom side, right over some small capacitors. The retailer says it's safe to use, but I've never encountered this with OEM CPUs before. I'm curious if anyone has experience with this kind of situation. Is it safe to use the CPU like this?

Generally, warranty stickers on the CPU aren’t common, but if the retailer assures you it's safe, they may know what they're talking about. Just make sure to monitor performance and temps once it's in your PC.
It's a bit odd to have a sticker on the CPU itself, but since it's on the bottom, it shouldn't affect installation. Just be cautious about long-term heat exposure because stickers can sometimes trap heat. Maybe keep an eye on temps after you start using it.
