I appreciate the stance on bb deals, just wanted to clarify with this specific one..is it unused and just box-damaged as suggested by an Aria staff member who answered, or something else ?

Not bothered if it has a heatsink or not, also, any room for manoeuvre on the price ?

There are 4 in there all with heatsinks. They look brand new and unused tbh - the seal has been cut on the box, thats all.

Have they been returned by anyone in the past. ie. probably used and then sent back within the seven day period?

Asking this as they may have been sold and when the buyer found out they were bad clockers they sent them back.

If they have never left your shop or don't have the marks on the connection pins/dots on the bottom of the chip (to show someone has used them) then there well worth a bash, if another deal falls through with someone on the forums then I may want one myself.

Let me know on here or by pm robin if you would mate.:)

The description says they have been installed and can't see any history. Will have to ask the stock controller tomorrow

Ok thanks alot robin. I suppose they can't be that bad.
I see they have the 30 day warranty but will intel be able to tell how they were bought and would their warranty still stand if no questions were asked etc.?

They went into systems that were cancelled so they have never left this building.

But surely they could be used in your bundles?

I am interested though :)

I was gonna buy one but I didn't get there in time, all gone. Aria do have some G6950s in but I haven't looked at the benches yet.
