No, it isn't a genuine Ryzen CPU.
Currently many Chinese sellers are offering Ryzen processors online at attractive prices. Are these devices affordable and reliable? Could they be low-quality or counterfeit products? All available reviews are overwhelmingly positive with five-star ratings. The only negative feedback I've encountered comes from customers who dislike the packaging, not the processor itself. Here are some images of a Ryzzen 5 2600 listing. The final reveal is a CPU-Z screenshot taken by someone who purchased and tested it—can such diagnostics be manipulated? Thank you for your insights!
An OEM stock form system interrogator CPU is a specific type of processor used in certain systems. To verify the ID code, you can check the CPU-Z screenshot or use its built-in tools to look up the model details. OEM and sample CPUs differ from locally available ones, especially with the recent influx of Chinese AM4 boards. You might want to create a thread about this topic later.
It's an OEM tray processor without a fan or heatsink. It's labeled "not for resale" to prevent sneaky dealers from selling it below cost. Chips from 2017 are likely discarded now. Around $150 CAD on AliExpress.
They seem similar in performance. If they’re the same, purchasing them could be a good deal despite the lack of packaging or cooling components.
Check if the parts are reliable versus those sold in stores. Since you already own a Gammaxx 400, you might be able to assemble a system without needing to buy from a shop.
I thought it came from the seller, but it could be arranged if enough effort is put in. I’m not trying to stop you from buying it, just that I’m quite doubtful about this situation. Purchasing used items without seeing them first isn’t ideal—check the seller’s reviews beforehand to stay safe.
It's possible to manipulate CPU-Z reports or analysis, though it's generally hard to detect without thorough testing. The seller appears trustworthy, but China's reputation for issues means caution is wise. Verify reviews carefully and consider cross-checking data.
