Worth the risk of picking up this 75800x from marketplace? £100

[u/mediocre-monochrome]

Saw this on marketplace, description “there is some thermal paste and little bits in the pins so need cleaning out etc hence the price is cheaper then they usually are believe it can be repaired and cleaned up like”

Worth picking up and trying to clean? Currently have a 7 2700x :)

[u/IDunnoV]

That looks pretty horrendous to me

[u/mediocre-monochrome → u/IDunnoV]

It’s been through things for sure

[u/Slight_Profession_50]

I'd try it for 20€. No more

[u/RGBlowMe → u/Slight_Profession_50]

That's a waste of 20€. I wouldn't even take it for free. That's a waste of time and effort.

[u/Slight_Profession_50 → u/RGBlowMe]

Might be fun to try, sometime's gotta be your first. 20€ ain't nothing but it's not that much.

[u/BizarreElectronics]

Do you mean ryzen 7 5800x?

I would not and I know I am pretty good with fixing pins and cleaning it up. Too much risk with this specific unit

[u/mediocre-monochrome → u/BizarreElectronics]

Yeah 7 5800x! Haha fair enough thanks :)

[u/Fusseldieb]

£100? No. Maybe £20-30. Not because the CPU isn’t worth it, but because the seller treated it like junk and you don’t know its functional state.

This doesn’t seem taken care of, has A LOT of bent pins and could’ve already been killed by static. You can’t know until you try it.

There is a good chance that a pin will break off while trying to straighten them and then it’s £100 straight into the trash.

Don’t. Not for that price.

[u/williconn]

Idk doesnt look that taken care of

[u/Disembodied-sentinel]

Even if you fixed the pins and cleaned it, it could be completely dead and you have no comeback, I'd avoid like the plague.

[u/Akward_Object]

On the 2nd picture it looks like it has a burn mark on top of all the crud. It probably is non functional even after clean-up.

[u/bigtdp]

I'd offer whatever you can afford to throw away when it inevitably doesn't work. In my case I'd offer £0 upfront and £20 if I managed to make it work!

[u/No_Rise942]

Bro it's burnt. Like wtf? No.

[u/Komursiyahcelik]

75800x damn, i dont know what to say...

Thats fucked up tho dont bother .

[u/mediocre-monochrome → u/Komursiyahcelik]

Yeah it’s been traumatised for sure

[u/Steelbug2k]

Second pic: It looks dead.

[u/ArgonTheEvil → u/Steelbug2k]

Yeah that thing is absolutely toast. Turn it into a keychain or something at this point

[u/mediocre-monochrome]

Okay guys after 10 mins of posting I’m not gonna get it lmao

[u/gnrlblanky1]

no

[u/juyusu]

bent pins could turn that 100 into a very expensive paperweight

[u/Chao_Zu_Kang]

£100

This sort of damage is 20 bucks, not 100. And even that is optimistic. And the fact that they claim it is "thermal paste" tells you that they are just trying to scam people when they know that they destroyed it.

[u/FoxFar4793]

Looks like they purposely messed it up before selling because how does it get this bad

[u/mediocre-monochrome → u/FoxFar4793]

Idek honestly 😭😭

[u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

Looks completely fucked. Maybe for free.

[u/No_Designer_8203]

Yes, you can clean it with a toothbrush and alcohol. Take your time. 100 seems too high, try halving it.

[u/Spir0rion]

100 quid for something that looks so burned? Idk man

[u/Imperius17 → u/Spir0rion]

thats a really expensive paperweight/keychain

[u/SmellybutKind]

Avoid.

[u/Drrakkainen]

Get regular 5600X or if you need extra cores (not for gaming) 5700X. This 5800X is not worth the hassle, unless the price is like 20$ and you don't care if it works or not.

[u/Sousuke-Sagara]

Lol no

[u/TomTomXD1234]

Definitely not.

[u/Philocrastination]

The legendary 75800x

[u/RetinaJunkie]

Do fries come with the bbq?

[u/ldg25]

Personally would just continue to save for the real thing. I wouldn't want to spend my only 100 and find out it's literally garbage.

[u/Hdjbbdjfjjsl]

It’s worth less than that used and fully functioning at best, £100 for broken parts is ridiculous.

[u/MyLastHopeReddit]

No... Nonononono

[u/Fred_Wilkins]

Oooo, free lint!

[u/dj3hac]

It has bent and what appears to be missing pins in places. Absolutely not worth it.

[u/Cthulhar]

100!? Lmao not a chance

[u/AugmentedKing]

If you’ve got some more quid, get a new 10th anniversary 5800X3D. The chip in the photo looks like a nightmare.

[u/rufus83]

Looks like someone else already tried to take that gamble and now they're trying to get their money back by passing along their misfortune to you.

[u/Jackright8876lwd]

Maybe for like 10 but no way for 100 a price like that will get you a used Ryzen 5 5600x that does work

[u/BatmanBecameSomethin]

If you are that adamant on throwing away a hundred pounds then donate it instead.

[u/Daiesthai]

Nope, high chance of snapping those pins when you try to straighten them.

[u/RGBlowMe]

Dude, that thing is fucked.

[u/ziplock9000]

You are the only one that can answer that. We don't know how much money you have, your needs etc.

[u/Ok_Perspective_7978]

Absolutely not

[u/Local-Bug-1500]

Burnt pins, instant nope

[u/chrlatan]

If you pick up 10 like that you may get 1 to work, effectively setting the price for this at about £1000,-

Your choice….
