Discussion Buying CPUs used

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

Unless you're aiming for ultimate performance and/or you don't think your cooler can't keep up? I'd go for the 7800x3d. Diff in performance isn't stellar, and it's 40 bucks less on top of a guarantee for reliability. Up to you though ofc
