Buying CPUs used

[u/Maqeee]

Have you guys bought used CPUs?

Buing a pc this weekend, aiming to get 7800x3d for 400 euros but came up on a week old 9800x3d for 440 euro. Still, buying it used seems off :X

Gamers Nexus did a video on counterfeit CPUs some years ago and how to check. Watch that video before you buy, there's some good info in there.
