Question CPU

[Klaus235]

where or how to check when buying used cpu

Know your seller.
A used cpu is not likely to be defective.
On ebay, a seller will have some feedback.
And, ebay protects sellers so long as you pay with paypal.

sorry if you cant understand me write it on the post

i once bought used cpu from the market amd ryzen 5 2600x with board b450m-h and when i play games my board always makes some beeps,then i notice that my cpu has been overheated while i was gaming on
and the temperature was like from 80 till 90,and then it got me concern(thoughts like is this going to last or is it rip off)i somehow solve my problem via bios find it what it was and then i posted this thread here for good will if someone guide me
AND I always forgot to mention this here 80degrees from cpu while gaming and on desktop 35-45degrees jumping nonstop and i know 80 90 degrees isnt good for cpu to have my main question is how much long can it last? since you said isnt likely to be defective

my main question is how much long can it last?

It can last minutes or decades.

You can't know the answer with any accuracy.

CPUs very rarely fail for ANY reason, but it does happen.

If it fails in 2 weeks, maybe the seller will give you a refund. Maybe not. It's up to you to find out. We have NO idea about the seller. There is always a risk when buying used. You accept the risk or buy new only.

Modern processors can run hot.
Up to 100c. for Intel, somewhat less, about 85c. for ryzen.
They are designed to do so for maximum performance.
A cpu will monitor it's own temperature and if it gets too hot, it will slow down or shut off to protect itself.
That is not a defect, that is how it is designed.

Many apparently defective processors are really user caused motherboard and mounting errors.

A processor will have a 3 year warranty.
The manufacturer knows the manufacture date from the batch number.
They add in 90 days and do not require proof of purchase if you return it for a RMA.
