Just clean it off. It's fine.

Are you sure that it's burn marks and not just a bit of dirt or perhaps wear from the socket?

the socket pins looked fine. the cpu had a discolored section, about 8 contacts. it was slightly brown. i'm not really worried about it, seeing i've been running this setup for over 2 years. so if it goes it goes. has this happened to anyone else?
