Hey there, 

I had to install my carriee frame on my 1950X 

I've noticed I have a couple of light  finger marks on the edges of the bottom after installing 

Will the CPU be OK or is it dead?

Will it die from a fingerprint around the edge?  No

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I didn’t touch the Center part which is the capacitors and power delivery but as you can see there are finger marks on the bottom edges

just make sure to clean it with alcohol or similar

Which grade, 90% or 70%

any honestly will work but 90 or 80% just to be sure and let it dry for a minute or two and things will be okay. As long as any contact isn't broken then you're good.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

No, its not going to do anything.

You can clean it with literally anything thats not corrosive to gold. So unless your pc cleaning regimen involves Nitric acid...

Just remove the oil resodue from the fingerpring and you will be good to go. You will probably be fine even if you dont remove the resodue

CPUs can take a beating, I wouldn't be worried about it. If you wanna be super careful clean it a bit, but it should be just fine. 

Xeon e5649@4.4 GHz on Asus Rampage II Extreme or Gigabyte x58a-OC (whatever I feel like to set up at a time) , 6x4 GB Kingston HyperX 1600, Gainward GTX 670 Phantom, Samsung 840 Evo 240 GB, BeQuiet L8 530W
