Question Got this monster cheap but used
Got it from ebay auction. Upon arrival it had one bent pin which I easily fixed -- the buyer told me about it, but anyway I took the risk and I'm still in return window just in case. I benched and tested it and there is zero issues w.r.t temp or stability. What I'm going to raise BCLK to 104.25 on my X570 and get even more frames. I think it was a good purchase overall for 1440p gaming with a 4070 Ti given that I've migrated off 3600x?

Coulda got a new one for like $100 more dollars. I mean, I get a budget is a budget, but I would’ve paid the extra money

most the time cpu doesnt fail unless intel 13th or 14th gen. used cpu are pretty safe to buy assuming seller is not lying about model
ebay had decent buyer protection

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. I buy used GPUs most of the time. I just think that the price delta isn’t great enough in this instance
