I'm looking to sell this as a combo. This was a very solid gaming base, but I needed something with more cores for work, and so I've now got a 3970x.

CPU: Intel Core i9 9900k
Motherboard: MSI Z370M Gaming Pro AC
Cooler: Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
Extras: Rockit Cool LGA 1151 Delid Kit + spare copper IHS

The 9900k was sold me delidded by Cecil, and it has worked well. I used CLU between the IHS and cooler as an experiment to see if it's worth using liquid metal between the two (it is not). The coloring you see on the IHS and cooler is a result of CLU. I cleaned it as much as I could with isopropyl alcohol - to get the rest off you need to either sand it off, or go with an electric polishing tool. Or you can just try to use it as is, but YMMW on temperatures.

Price: SOLD LOCALLY

Would this work as is by slapping regular thermal paste on top and throwing the cooler on or does the rest need to be removed before?
 
The discoloration will have no effect on the performance. But if you did want it to be looking copper again, you could get a packet of flitz Polish from rockitcool for a dollar or two plus shipping, and it will shine it back up with a paper towel.
