Is it too good to be true /g/?

Are you the guy who suggests everyone to buy used server cpus for 100$ instead of getting new mainstream processors ?

>>55591497
I am asking a question to spark discussion. I genuinely want to know.

>>55591516
Check the sellers rep

>>55591676
They are pretty trusted.

>>55591459
Is it coming from china?
Thats all you need to know

>>55591683
Country?

>>55591695
Nope

>>55591696
USA

>ES

Lol

It might be a prototype that was stolen. That happens all the time.

>>55591766
Is it still safe to buy?

>>55591459
It says right there in the CPU-Z it's an engineering sample.

ES's are technically illegal and intel can demand it back at anytime if they figure out you have one (pretty unlikely tho).

>>55591779
>>55591784
It's most likely safe to buy and will probably work without any problems but you will have to admit to yourself that you're a nigger.

>>55591817
Thanks


I'm a nigger

I never understood this image. What is on that stock cooler?

Looks like a sticker.

It's an engineering sample. Almost nobody buys those, that's why the price is so low. They get trays full of these things for like 5 bucks a pop. Some of them are trashed, some of them work great. It's a gamble even assuming the seller isn't a scammer of some sort. Only buy if you can afford to lose that amount of money.

>>55592240

It's what someone ordered from an eBay seller for a significant chunk of money and actually received: it's just a big hunk of molded plastic in the shape of the HSF assembly with a sticker on top giving the impression that it's the actual product, just as the "CPU" is just a piece of plastic with a sticker on it.

In other words, someone made mad bank from the sale and the buyer got shit.

>>55591459
>$550 is cheap for a CPU

Uh... I'm really the only one here who's confused by this?

>>55595732
List price is a little over $3,300 USD.

>>55591993
I like how they moulded the wax so that it could kind of be fitted onto a CPU. It's a nice attention. This fake product is art.

>>55595732
yeah ur an idiot

>>55595745
Why would anyone want to buy a CPU while it's $3,300 USD? Only stupid cunts buy any computer hardware when its list price is over $1000.

Also if that's the case, then OP is obviously purchasing a piece of wax.

>>55595756
As has already been explained if you'd bother to read the thread instead of coming in and posting like a mong, you'd see it is an engineering sample CPU, meaning it was never meant for sale, which is why it's so cheap.

Also, it's a 20 core 40 thread Xeon CPU for heavy virtualization work or rendering or similar high workload use cases, NOT for some dumb fuck wanting to play games.

>>55595779
So $3,300 for a cpu that can't even run minecraft? Lmao see u later nerds

>>55595779
Wow I hope OP is going to have a blast watching anime in 20 virtual machines at once with his new wax blob.
