Apparently CEX think this is appropriate packaging for a CPU :palm: |

And I don't even wanna know what this crud is on it. |

If I were in your position I would send this back. You have no idea of knowing what ESD damage could have been caused and some devices can be 'walking wounded'. Think about the Intel chips that failed in NAS drives where the clock pin was not quite strong enough to last 20+ years. |

Nice. ;D |

I got some RAM from ebay and it was packaged in polystyrene foam, so I returned it for a refund. I was actually lucky, because I made a mistake and ordered the wrong type, so I had an excuse to return it. I did order the right type, but from a different supplier who fortunately packaged it properly. |
