The new architecture of the 12th generation Core can be said to have brought a great improvement to the performance of the CPU, but when shopping for products, there are still players who will struggle with loose chips and boxed. Exactly which CPU is right for you, let's talk about the two types of CPU packaging.
In fact, from the name, it can be seen that the boxed CPU is a single product with its own independent packaging, while the loose pieces do not have independent packaging, and the CPU that consumers buy is a plastic shell added after the merchant.
In addition to packaging accidents, boxed CPUs enjoy the official 3-year warranty, while loose pieces generally only have a months warranty of indefinite duration provided by the store, if the store closes, there is naturally no warranty, and the box does not have to worry about this problem.
Some merchants will promote the box better in order to bring goods, but in any case, both are actually manufactured from the same production line, the boxed CPU is the CPU manufacturer will sell it as a retail commodity on the market, providing an official warranty, and the fragment is the CPU manufacturer will supply it as a component to the OEM manufacturer, basically from the OEM manufacturer, do not enjoy the official warranty.
Since the bulk is the same as the boxed product, and the price of the loose is much cheaper, isn't it more cost-effective to buy the loose? Not really.
Because the overclocking performance of each CPU is different, which is what we often call "physique", and the distributor who sells the disc can test the performance of each CPU, it will lead to the scatter we buy is basically picked out. The boxed CPU has not undergone such a fine screening, so the overall overclocking potential will be better.
However, for most users, the CPU will not be overclocked, so it will not involve physical problems, but I still recommend that you buy a boxed product for three reasons.
The first is that the price can be lower. The biggest advantage of the loose disc over the box is the low price, but the player often has to match the motherboard when buying the CPU, and the purchase of the boxed board U suit can generally be much cheaper than buying alone, which is equivalent to the slacker or even cheaper.
This is followed by an attached radiator. AMD's full range of CPUs and Intel's CPU box without K will come with a heat sink, although there is no light effect, the heat dissipation ability is not very strong, but for users who do not have high requirements, they can still be competent for heat dissipation needs, and they can also save money to buy a separate heat sink.
The third is the after-sales guarantee. Boxed CPU provides a 3-year warranty, when the processor has a problem can be replaced, and the scatter needs to be circumvented with the merchant, not only the warranty time is short, but also the warranty is time-consuming and laborious, regardless of the merchant running away or freight disputes, it is easy to suffer losses if there is a problem.
Finally, we should remind everyone that the purchase of CPU or choose formal channels, to avoid merchants will be loose pieces or even second-hand CPU repackaged disguised as boxes sold to you, the problem only to find that there is no warranty, as well as false cover CPU, let you spend i7 money to buy i3, there is bitterness can not say.
