Hey everyone. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask here, but I've been thinking of buying a used Ryzen 7 3700X if I can get a good enough deal. For context, in my country the cheapest you can normally get this CPU for (new) is 280 euros or 340 dollars.
A few hours after posting I was approached by a user claiming to have a unit that he wants to sell to get a 5600X after using it for about a year with an AIO. He has never overclocked the CPU. He also still has the box, the stock cooler and will transfer the warranty.
I don't really have any reason not to trust this person, as I can see they've been really active on this website, which is one of the biggest in my country for selling/buying used stuff.
Still though, I want to ask everyone here in advance. What price would be realistic for this CPU and based on the above specifications? Additionally and since I don't really want to go to this guy's house and test it, what stress/benchmarking software should I tell him to run in order to get a good enough image of the CPU? I'm mainly interested in voltages and load temps, but should there be anything else I should pay attention at? Any other tip when it comes to buying used CPUs in general?
Thank you all so much in advance!
