Update to previous 3-egg review.
Pros: Great price for a killer processor. Shipped well packed from China.
Cons: Shipped with out static bag or any type of static wrap, only bubble wrap.
Overall Review: Was finally able to pot new system together and the cpu posts with out issue. So far I have not had real issues. Only a heat related blackout of screen so changed fan configuration to see if that helps with air flow and cooling. So far product is exactly as advertised. Just please use static bags to protect these expensive investments. Thank you.
Quick and precise. Great seller.
Received item quickly and packed well. Inside box packing looked as if it was already opened and I did notice a bit of thermal paste stuck on the side of the fan. Most likely a return as this fan has RAM clearance issues and someone did not want to buy new ram to make this work. New build for me so I was able to get ram that fit but not the RGB kind I really wanted. All pieces were in the box and it assembled and worked with out issue. Not advertised as used so only 4-eggs due to the fact I did see this was not an originally unopened item. Maybe not actually used as the original person found it did not fit with tall ram. But overall good experience.
What you see is what you get.
Received the processor in a timely manner. Ships from China and had to get through customs but not too bad. I received as the image described just the processor mounted in the orange tray. However, although well packaged in a foam container and bubble wrap the processor was not protected with any type of anti-static sleeve or sheets, just wrapped in bubble wrap. Waiting on the new motherboard to test if it will post with out issue. I will update this review once I have everything built. Still quick shipping and packaging good. You get what you see. Please consider some more safeguards when shipping these types of items in the future. Thank you.
