AMD CPU comes in with a box and without a box (in plastic casing).
Only the one in box is original?
How to tell if it is original?
Are AMD CPU without box non original?

Just read that the ones in plastic casings are tray processors, i.e., used for Dell, Acer etc for them to install into their PCs, laptops. Maybe someone managed to get some of these for retail. Tray ones are about RM50 cheaper. |

Those are meant for system integrators and OEMs, but they are pretty much identical to retail chips (similar performance and reliability), only without the packaging and the bundled cooler Just read that the ones in plastic casings are tray processors, i.e., used for Dell, Acer etc for them to install into their PCs, laptops.

There is no AMD or Intel fake processor. Different market the heatsink and fan even different. The same model of processor from the same factory come out, they pack a bit different for the different market they going to ship to. You can go China and get one Intel or AMD processor and then you compare it with our Malaysia's Intel or AMD processor. The heatsink and fan is totally different from us.
Another example, original iPhone for global and China market they got even different spec for same model. This post has been edited by JonathanHanYT: May 19 2022, 08:29 AM |

How to tell if it is original? Those CPUs in gift box package are meant for end customer direct purchase. System builders like Dell, HP, Lenovo or any small ones purchase CPU in bulk. It is cheaper for them. Those CPU are still under warranty but it through the system builder. You cannot go direct to Intel or AMD. So, you should ask if anything wrong with the CPU, can you get warranty from the seller or not. This is to avoid black market CPUs. Ooo... found statement.

Initially, I thought only the user interface side, in Chinese vs English. One floor vacuum robot has a higher vacuum pressure for the China version than the international version. |

If the processor only pack in transparent plastic sealed box, usually it is for OEM. Transparent plastic sealed box with hard cardboard type of cover wrap around it, that one is retail packing.

The seller with no stock cooler made some BS story. I think whether it has a stock cooler will depend on the CPU model. Some got and some dont. Read that the higher end CPU dont come with stock cooler as this cooler will not be enough and user will buy their own more powerful cooler.I bought AMD 5900K without a box. It is running AOK, in fact much better than my many Intel CPUs. For Intel die-hard fans, please dont come back and scream at me till the sun dies. Ha. |

There ARE so called "fake" CPU in the markets the scammer will usually delid the CPUs, swap the IHS of the old one with a new one, for example a CPU IHS there stated it's a 5950X, but it might be just a 1200 underneath, you wouldn't know until you've booted it up But fake delided CPU for AMD is pretty rare compared to Intel as AMD soldered their IHS, making it extremely difficult to delid Another method the scammers used for AMD CPU is sanding off the labels on the IHS, and print a fake label as higher spec CPU c128 liked this post
