CPU location and other detailed things

[jokeresp50]

Hello
Recently from Ebay i bought intel CPU for my pc
Seller told me its NEW and UNOPENED

My question is:
Is it possible for me or for some specialist to track information from CPU ID like :
-When CPU was manufactured
-When it was sold and to whom
-When it was installed and which programs were running recently (or few days ago)

Is it possible to find those informations ?
Sadly i have no delivery note.
Thank you for answers.

When and where it was manufactured yes..

The rest of that no. Why would any of that matter anyway?

"When CPU was manufactured"
I would think this would be located within some number printed on the case.

"When it was sold and to whom
-When it was installed and which programs were running recently (or few days ago)"

I don't think you will get any of this information from the CPU itself.

Is there a problem with it?

What cpu is it? Was the box sealed? Did the stock cooler have thermal paste already installed? It should be pretty clear if the cpu is new or not

I think you might be better off looking for "witness marks".

....like any marks on the CPU that it may have been installed in a socket....or may have had a cooler on it. etc.

CPU works fine (for now)
I dont want to find that CPU what i just bought its been used for several years
I just want tknow if CPU is not USED or even STOLEN.That scares me.

-When CPU was manufactured

Go to intel.com, and check the warranty status.

-When it was sold and to whom

Probably not.

-When it was installed and which programs were running recently (or few days ago)

No.


In addition:
"Intel warranty only applies to the original purchaser."

Its intel core series I5
Box was sealed whit a tape.
And CPU was clear whit no paste on it

Then I wouldn't have any reason to doubt it's authenticity. The rest of that info would be a major invasion of privacy... You want your name forever tied to that processor so anyone can look you up?

If it makes you feel any better.....I but used CPUs from EBay quite often and they almost always work fine right from the start (except once) and none of them have ever failed as far as I know.

Yea, i think you are right.
I was scared that police or someone could track me throught CPU ID and i got sued or even worse for buying or possessting something that might be stolen.

You bought it in good faith from an unknown supplier on a public site, you're not going to jail
