CPU tray vs. boxed?
Hello, I have a question. Are tray or boxed CPUs more worthwhile? Tray CPUs come without packaging and a warranty. But they are usually cheaper than the boxed versions, for example the Ryzen 5 5600, where the tray version is a good €20 cheaper than the boxed version. But I've also often heard that you shouldn't buy tray CPUs because you don't know what you're getting. But still, so many people recommend the Ryzen 5 7500F, which is only available as a tray version. So I'm wondering if the manufacturer's warranty justifies the extra cost for the boxed CPUs? What do you think?

The dealer must give you 2 years of warranty, so a lack of warranty would not have a disadvantage for you.
This isn’t even so often the case…
Often, tray CPUs are also just a little more expensive.
For 20€ savings, you will definitely get a better CPU cooler than the included Wraith Stealth. This is worth the CPU tray aug anyway.
Who’s telling a bullshit? As long as you don’t order your CPU at Wish, Temu or Amazon Marketplace dealers, you just get a blister with the ordered CPU. Tray CPUs haven the same quality scatter as boxed CPUs.
CPU trays are actually aimed at large customers such as e.g. system integrators that many processors need but do not need the entire garbage around it.
I’ve read here more often. It is said that the Tray variants can also be CPUs already used or non-fulfilment CPUs have been sorted out.
At Tray there is no CPU cooler, with Boxed there is a (usually simple / cost-effective) CPU cooler.
Boxed CPUs have manufacturer warranty, in addition to the statutory warranty that the dealer has to take over. Tray CPUs have no manufacturer warranty, so only the legal warranty by the dealer.
Tray then makes sense if you want to get your own cooler anyway or, for example, water cooling.
Hello
Processors are sold as BOX, WOF or TRAY goods. The following is behind it:

Was it always that boxed with the right standard cooler came too?
At ner Tray, on the other hand, stop nix is there, you have the guarantee or so firstma about the dealer in DE 😉
a cpu without guarantee to buy makes no sense
You still have 2 years of legal warranty.
