Is the processor adulterated? If not, how come the (box) processor is open or (stray) the price of the "processor" is so low?

The processor is not duplicated. Currently, Intel and AMD make processors for desktops.

The processor cell is boxed in two ways and OEM or Tray processor. Boxed processors are mainly sold to general buyers. Boxed processors are usually sold at 30% more than OEM or Tray processors.

Now your question may be 30% means a lot. So how does Tray processor sell so low. So are the processors adulterated? In fact, there is no cooler with Tray processor and no box asana, these save a lot of Intel and AMD costs. The bigger issue is that they mainly sell Tray / OEM processors to different computer companies like Dell, Apple, Asus, Hp etc. So these companies don't usually buy two or four processors like buyers. They bought thousands and millions of processors. So in that case they can buy much less.

Now let's see how the Tray / OEM processors that are sold in different places come to the general buyer. In fact, these are all second hand processors. Offices, hospitals, research centers and general users in different countries upgrade their computers every few years. But their old processors are still in good condition and the processor is not easily damaged. So don't throw them away. They are collected. It is then shortened according to model and generation and sold on Tray. Now these are but second hand tray processors. These are not sold directly by Intel or AMD. So any ordinary buyer can buy these if he wants. You can buy such second hand tray processors from different websites in China at a much lower price.

Now let's see what happens in our country? Many second hand trays in our country are bought from China and are very cheap as they are bought in large quantities. They then sell them to the general buyer in the country. There is no box or cooler with them.

But lately, some unscrupulous traders have been selling Tray processors as boxed processors with fake coolers and user manuals. So when buying a processor, make sure that the box is sealed and that the serial number of the box matches the serial number of the processor. You can verify the serial number from the processor's website. Moreover, even if you see the processor in your hand, you will understand whether it is second hand or not.

However, if you get these tray processors much less than the boxed processor, then you have to see if the processor is working at the time of purchase. Usually the processor does not break down easily and the store will give you a minimum 1 year warranty so you can use it safely. Even if it is second hand, it does not lose the efficiency of the processor. It stays the same. However, if the processor is unlocked and if the first user uses it after months of overclocking, the performance may decrease slightly.
